Abstract

This study aims to find out the barriers faced by the second and the third grade students at SMPN 2 Wawo during pandemic. This study belongs to descriptive qualitative research with case study method. This study involved 68 students consisting of 4 classes and also two English teachers as the subjects. The open-ended questionnaires were distributed to the students, while the structured interview was conducted with the English teachers to collect the data. Based on the research findings collected through questionnaires and interview, there are five categories of barriers faced by the students in English online learning during pandemic as follows: (a) bad internet connection and lack of access to gadgets, (b) inability to operate online learning applications, (c) lack of financial support to afford internet quotas, (d) students’ low motivation and (e) lack of understanding of the subject matters. The statement with the highest percentage is lack of understanding of the subject matter, i.e., 70.29%, and the lowest one is bad internet network and lack of supported facilities, i.e., 53%. By acknowledging and addressing these barriers, educational institutions can develop strategies and policies to enhance the quality of online learning experiences for EFL students.
