Abstract

This study explores the perceptions of UTAR students regarding online English learning, focusing on their experiences, acceptance, and views on its advantages and limitations. Through qualitative analysis of interview data from fifteen students, key themes emerged, including flexibility, accessibility, cost-effectiveness, motivation, communication challenges, and technological barriers. While the majority of students expressed a positive attitude toward online English learning, motivation was unexpectedly identified as a limitation rather than a benefit. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of student engagement in online learning environments and provide insights into potential improvements in the delivery of online education.
