Abstract


This study aims to investigate students' perceptions of the effectiveness of online learning in intensive speaking courses. The research method used is the descriptive-qualitative method. The participants in this study were students of the 2022 class of the English Education study program, Universitas Negeri Makassar for the 2022/2023 academic year. Eight students were selected as participants using a simple random sampling technique. The instrument of this research was an interview. Qualitative descriptive analysis was used to analyze the data collected in the interview transcripts. Overall, students had positive and negative perceptions of the effectiveness of online learning in intensive speaking courses. The students revealed that online learning in intensive speaking courses had positive and negative impacts on their learning process. Positive perceptions of online learning in intensive speaking courses included 1) increasing skills, 2) flexibility, and 3) increasing self-confidence. In contrast, the negative perceptions found from online learning in intensive speaking courses were 1) non-technical constraints, 2) technical constraints, and 3) lack of interaction. Even though students' perceptions varied, based on the data obtained, students' positive perceptions were more dominant than their negative perceptions. In addition, they all argued that online learning in intensive speaking courses was effective. Therefore, it can be concluded that online learning in intensive speaking courses is effective.
