In the digital era, the development of technology influences the way students learn and the teachers teach. The technology enables teachers to do online teaching and create flexible and innovative materials that allow students to collaborate and work in creative ways. This study aims to explore pre�service English teachers’ perceptions on the use of online English learning at secondary schools. This research employed a descriptive qualitative design by interviewing 5 pre-service teachers who had completed teaching practice II at secondary schools. The result of the study showed that Pre�service training English teachers have four perceptions on the use of online English learning: ease of accessing resources from many sources, exploring something different from the Internet, increasing knowledge, and flexibility in teaching. The results also identified some challenges in applying online teaching, such as students' lack of discipline and low responses and less interactive learning. The use of online learning for English teachers can assist teachers in increasing their technological knowledge. However, teachers must be more creative in their use of online learning to increase their students' participation in the learning process
