This study explores the perceptions of the eleventh-grade students on the
implementation of e-learning in English classes at SMA Muhammadiyah 18 Jakarta.
Using a qualitative case study approach, data was collected by conducting semi-structured
interviews with eight students from different classes.
The study revealed students had general positive attitudes toward e-learning. They
viewed digital tools such as Google Classroom, Quizizz, Canva, and Google Forms as
effective tools enabling engagement, creativity, and access to various learning resources.
Students also revealed their views that e-learning has several benefits or advantages,
including increasing motivation, providing interactivity, and building digital literacy.
However, several challenges were also identified, including poor internet
connectivity, poor access to digital devices, and the need for more self-discipline in time
management.
Technical issues, such as connectivity issues and application interruptions, were
also cited by students as hindrances to learning through the use of digital learning in
English classrooms.
Overall, the students perceived digital learning as a relevant and successful
approach to English language teaching if supported with adequate infrastructure facilities,
teachers' guidelines, and creative implementation. This study recommends the
development of digital pedagogy and infrastructure for enhancing learning outcomes to
the maximum in the evolving digital environment.
