The Covid-19 pandemic has changed the education system in Indonesia from conventional offline classes to online classes. This sudden change has influenced the process of learning both positively and negatively. To some extent, online learning is considered advantageous; however, for prolonged use, it has some evident drawbacks. The pros and cons of online learning are also experienced by the students of English Literature at UNARS. Accordingly, a survey was conducted among 62 students to see how they perceived online learning. This research also examined how online learning has affected the students’ study of English. The results showed that even though online learning was considered to not be as pleasant as offline learning, online learning was rated as somewhat enjoyable by 45.2% of the students. 

Keywords: online learning, students’ point of view, survey
