Global Pandemic.
Global pandemic brings a huge changes in many aspect of lives. Health issues,
national policy, new normal lifestyle, and learning problems. A million of students are
suggest to not not attend school, while learning activity is still need to conduct. Most of the
school in Indonesia are changing their methods of learning, from face to face in classes
become online learning through apps, especially for English language teaching and learning.
Most face to face classrooms are slowly transforming into online classes (Lee & Lee, 2019;
Nugroho & Mutiaraningrum, 2020). Some previous studies have discussed this changes in
various countries. Ja’ashan (2015), for instance, investigated students’ perception and
attitudes on hybrid learning for English courses. In this hybrid learning, 20% to 75% of the
course content was delivered online. Through a questionnaire employed in his study, it was
concluded that students’ perception and attitudes towards blended learning were generaly
positive.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic in the beginning of 2020, Indonesia tries out the
implementation of EFL online classes just like many countries. The implementation of online
classes was decided nationwide, since the education policy made by Ministry of Education
decided to apply a rule to change the offline classes into online in March 2020. This decision
was taken based on the global and national situation of Covid-19 outbreak. This policy
applied for shcools and universities. After experiencing online classes for around fourteen
days, all schools and universities were suggested to do online class for longer period of time.
Even some universities decided to do online classes for the whole semester. This drastic and
sudden changes results in an unexpected reactions from teachers and students. The sudden
alter of formal interaction in classroom into casual computerized learning past classroom
clearly leads to a few results. To begin with, it shocks not as it were teachers and students
but also school administrators and authorities since the circumstance of worldwide
widespread has not been forecasted already (Amin & Sundari, 2020). Second, in order to
contact, teachers and students must adapt to the emergency online teaching and learning
(Abdulkareem & Eidan, 2020). Third, moving from face-to-face classroom interaction to
online educating and learning brings a number of challenges, preferences, and drawbacks
both for teachers and students (Ivone et al., 2020; Satar, 2018). As a result, in this instance,
teachers' and students' attitudes and perceptions of emergency remote teaching and learning
The use of digital platforms such as applications, learning management systems, and
social networking sites in English teaching and learning is not new, given the increased
technologies, social media, and virtual worlds (Lam et al., 2018; Nugroho &
Mutiaraningrum, 2020). So for a result, teachers must be conscious of the usage of digital
learners. Online learning is a method of teaching and learning that makes use of the internet
and learning platforms. Online learning, as defined by Ade Kusuma in La Ode Anhusadar, is
a learning process that employs information technology, in this case the internet, as a means
of information distribution, engagement, and facilitation. Adijaya & Lestanto, on the other
hand, noted that online learning is simple because it merely uses programs that are connected
to the internet (Swari, 2020). Online learning entails more than just web-based presentations
and information dissemination. Bazan (2016) also noted that online education begins when
instructors transition from a regular classroom to an online one. Students are guided through
online learning activities by online teachers. Long before the course begins, the experiences
are frequently planned and constructed. Without deliberate attempts to create a healthy social
atmosphere, online learning could feel lonely. As a result, when teaching online, a teacher
must encourage students to establish a positive online learning environment and assist
perspective of the students are, the students' lack of confidence and communication during
virtual sessions has made it much more difficult for them to properly say or utter the words
(Sayuti, Teh, Saimi, Bakar, Dawawi, & Mohamad, 2020). Because they are uncertain,
reluctant, and afraid of making mistakes, learners have difficulties expressing themselves.
They frequently lack sufficient vocabulary and practice, making it difficult for them to speak
English fluently (Syafiq, Rahmawati, Anwari, & Oktaviana, 2021). Learners become anxious
when they are deprived of language content because they are unable to speak. Even if they
have something to say, they are unable to do it for fear of making grammatical errors and
being ridiculed by their peers (Meinawati, Harmoko, Rahmah, & Dewi, 2020).
Even though teachers engage ESL students in interesting and enjoyable activities that
encourage them to speak in class, it is difficult to do so in the online mode because not all
students are comfortable with E-learning, and it is even more difficult for teachers to get
feedback from passive students (Kaur & Aziz, 2020). Learners are frequently placed in
situations where they must learn languages on their own during the COVID-19 epidemic,
according to Adedoyin and Soykan (2020). As a result, they struggle to understand and
During this crisis, all institutions, including the government, universities, and
telecommunications firms, should take the appropriate safeguards to ensure that ESL students
have access to online teaching and learning. Reducing the accessibility issue will ultimately
boost learners' motivation and success while also preventing serious mental health issues that
have harmed certain students. Furthermore, in order to endure COVID-19, both learners and
educators must be emotionally and physically prepared to adjust to this new learning method,
Finally, the purpose of this paper is to inform key authorities, such as institutional
speaking skills during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is to ensure that they develop
successful tactics and apply them to online teaching and learning, so that no learner is left
