Abstract

The transition from face-to-face classes to online classes due to the Covid-19 pandemic had a great impact on English Language Teaching students which shaped their opinions about their motivation. For this reason, this qualitative research aims to describe how online classes influenced English students’ motivation during Covid-19 pandemic in a public university in Mexico.
