Abstract

COVID-19 pandemic has been influencing all aspects of life, and the educational aspect is not an exception. Since COVID-19 transmission occurs by having direct contact with the infected people, maintaining physical distance is considered necessary to avoid the spread of the virus. Due to this situation, school closures were implemented to prioritize the health of all school’s members. Henceforth, to maintain the educational process amid the pandemic, online classes were implemented. The aim of the present study was to explore Palembang high school English teachers’ perspective on the online classes implementation, especially while conducting the online ELT, including how they taught four English language skills through online class, benefits and challenges emerging during its implementation, and potential solutions they can offer to deal with those challenges. This study employed a survey design followed by in-depth interviews. Fifty-five English teachers teaching at senior high schools located in Palembang city participated in filling out the online questionnaire, and four selected teachers who met specific criteria participated in the interview sessions. The findings of the study revealed that: the participants had varied ways to teach English language skills through online classes; they opined that online classes implementation possessed numerous benefits and also several challenges; and conducting online ELT during the pandemic was easy and effective enough. Additionally, the participants apparently enjoy teaching through either face-to-face or online, but for the preference, teaching face-to-face was still favorable. Keywords: ELT, online classes, English teachers, perspective, COVID-19 pandemic.
