Abstract: This phenomenological study examined the experiences of AB English Language students at UM Tagum College regarding the impact of online classes on foreign language acquisition. Seven participants were interviewed in-depth, and seven participated in a focus-group discussion to provide data. Findings revealed that students faced internet connectivity challenges and generally preferred face-to-face classes, yet they acknowledged the convenience and relaxing environment of online learning platforms. Students demonstrated responsibility, effective time management, and the adoption of diverse learning strategies, maintaining a positive mindset in coping with online language learning. Additionally, participants reported independent learning, acquisition of a proactive mindset, benefits for future travel, and the development of various language-learning virtues. Overall, the study indicates that online classes play a significant role in supporting students’ foreign language acquisition, highlighting both the challenges and benefits of digital learning environments.
