Results indicated a positive perception of the online learning environment, with students appreciating communication with instructors and peers, and effectively using English. Google Meet features like screen sharing and chat were noted as beneficial for understanding and engagement. Limitations included a small sample size, suggesting future research should involve larger and more diverse groups to further explore digital technologies in online ESL learning.
