Abstract

The practice of online learning has been widely known for its benefits and effectiveness in an ideal setting. However, the case of the COVID-19 pandemic causes some pushed changes in language classrooms, including the sudden implementation of online learning. “Student readiness” for online learning in the English for Medical Purpose context, as well as their views of the major components of online learning are the focus of this research. The data were based on the questionnaire distributed to the students taking the English for Nutritionist course. The data analysis was performed quantitatively to obtain the results regarding the students’ readiness and perceptions. The 71 students participating in this study perceived online learning as a chance to implement their technological literacy and a challenging learning approach. Although some improvements are needed, the overall results suggest that the students are more than at the expected level of readiness to learn English online.
