Abstract

This study aimed to explore, investigate, and describe students’ perceptions and learning practices during the implementation of online language learning using blended synchronous and asynchronous communication. Data was obtained from the observation, the interview, the students’ questionnaire derived from the Google Form, and the need analysis in the preliminary study for higher students of Nahdlatul Ulama University of Yogyakarta majoring in English Education Department. It was a case study research design. Descriptive and quantitative analysis was used to describe and interpret the obtained data from respondents. The results showed that the students were more enthusiastic about combining synchronous and asynchronous learning modes than videoconference only. Furthermore, evidence represented that the students were motivated by asynchronous tools such as WhatsApp, Google Docs, and Google Classroom: easy to reach communication, cheap costs, multifunction, and fast responses. In acquiring clear interaction and a direct meeting, live conferences like Zoom, and Google Meet became the right preferences for teachers and students.
