The present study highlights the interventions of online learning in English Language Learning (henceforth ELL) in Indonesian contexts during the pandemic of Covid 2019. It tries to describe the barriers and perceptions of Indonesian students after the interventions of online learning platforms in cyberspace pedagogy. This study employed 232 students from three different universities in Indonesia representing three demographics: West, Middle, and East parts of Indonesia. The data were collected using Google Form Questionnaire to find out the students’ preferences and perceptions towards online learning as well as the barriers they experienced. The findings revealed that they have some problems during online learning platforms that influence their preferences and perceptions towards online learning.
