In recent years, developments in information technology and digitalization
with the impact of industry 4.0 proved the effects in education as in every
field and started to provide educational institutions the opportunity to
perform their activities independently of time and place. However, the
sudden outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, which was experienced
worldwide and in Turkey highlighted the importance of creating an online
education infrastructure. Since the reflections of COVID-19 on English
language education in secondary schools is far more than foreseen, the study
aims to depict secondary school online English course from the perspectives
of students during the Emergency Remote Teaching (ERT) period., A
qualitative case study design was implemented in the study. The study group
consists of fifteen 6
th grade secondary school students. A semi-structured
interview form, which was developed by the researchers, was operated to
collect data. The data obtained were analyzed by implementing content
analysis. The findings revealed that distance learning with digital gamebased applications motivates students toward the lesson and encourages
them to participate in the lesson. On the other hand, students' affective filters,
their lack of internet access or computers, and inadequate lesson planning
for online learning negatively affect their learning processes.
