Abstract

This study aims to find out what the class X students at SMA Negeri 3 in Jambi City think about using the Zoom meting to learn English. We are aware that the COVID-19 has hampered all extracurricular activities, including online learning. This study's research design was qualitative, necessitating a great deal of observation for analysis. The study's participants were students in Jambi City's class X MIPA 2 SMAN 3. Six students, including two with low scores, two with medium scores, and two with high scores, participated in the study using a purposive sampling technique. In order to acquire information, the researcher interviewed students.. However, because of the flexible scheduling and ability to pick their most convenient location for language learning English, students also discovered that it was simpler to study English using the Google Meet program. The findings indicated that class X students at SMA Negeri 3 Jambi City encountered network issues when attempting to use the Zoom meting application to practice their English. The Zoom meting application allows teachers to share their screen with students and show the lesson plan when they want to present material to the class. The instructor will occasionally allot time in the meeting room for debates, plays, and other types of student involvement.
