This study explored the perceptions of students and teachers regarding online English teaching and learning. The research study was carried out using quantitative descriptive method, in which qualitative data was collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed through thematic analysis. Meanwhile the quantitative data was collected using close-ended questionnaires, separate for both teachers and students. The data collected was validated through a pilot study. For the reliability of the data, closed-ended responses were tested using the Cronbach Alpha test. The value for this study’s close-ended tool is 0.7. The findings of the study suggests that teaching of English language virtually is more beneficial for teachers and students as it offers many Perceived Usefulness (PU) advantages namely; accessibility, time saving, awareness of new technology and its applications. It was also found to be challenging to some extent as Perceived Ease of Usefulness (PEOU). The challenges may include, major power breakdown, lack of resources, poor network connections, lack of professional and academic trainings about the use of modern technology and its applications by the teachers and the students. The pandemic era was the time of complete closure of schools; hence, teaching virtually was considered a blessing in disguise.
