Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has intensified the already rapid pace of global development, including technological advances. Teachers are therefore required to adapt to, and update themselves on, the types of pedagogy needed to make teaching and learning attractive to students. However, the pandemic outbreak continues to threaten the education system and has closed schools worldwide. Consequently, the education system has changed dramatically, with teaching and learning increasingly being undertaken remotely on digital platforms. Video is one of the tools that can be used during this pandemic phase. This paper identifies secondary school students’ perceptions of the use of video in teaching and learning. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Independent t-tests, and Pearson Correlation tests. The findings indicated that the majority of the respondents had positive perceptions of video usage in the classroom. These findings are useful for English teachers and may be useful for other educators in the same field. Because there are different types of students, this study will be beneficial in enabling educators to understand their students' preferences when learning English. Educators can also optimize the use of video to enhance their students’ proficiency in the use of English.

Summary
Students lose interest in learning in class when there is no enjoyment to be had [1]. Educators must make an additional effort and utilize technology, rather than depend solely on textbook material. Ebrahimi and Yeo [2] found that 57% of teachers used technology for education, whereas 39% of teachers admitted not having received any training in using technology. This situation drastically changed because of the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak three months into 2020. Education leaders have had to resort to multiple strategies to ensure the continuation of learning, the most effective of which has been the use of digital technology
