Nowadays, all countries across the globe face pandemic COVID -19. It creates many changes in all aspects of life, including education. Due to its contagious nature, all countries as well as Indonesia decided to shut down the education institutions. Then, online learning is seen as the perfect answer to minimize physical interaction between teacher and students, or among students themselves. Different from traditional classroom learning, the students are required to do all the tasks online, starting from understanding the material until doing the works. Since online learning is new, it is essential to know the students’ perception towards it. Thus, this study focused on the students’ involvement during English online learning, and some factors affecting their involvement. The method used is descriptive using by questionnaire.
