Henceforth, to maintain the educational process amid the pandemic, online classes were implemented. The aim of the present study was to explore Palembang high school English teachers’ perspective on the online classes implementation, especially while conducting the online ELT, including how they taught four English language skills through online class, benefits and challenges emerging during its implementation, and potential solutions they can offer to deal with those challenges.
