Abstract

Online essay writing has become a convenient alternative for teacher to teach academic writing to students ever since the COVID-19 pandemic emerged in the beginning of 2020. Even so, online essay writing can differ from the conventional essay writing in many aspects. Regardless, writing is still considered as one of the most difficult skill to master for students.

The study used qualitative method as the research design and interview as the instrument in collecting the data. The participants in this study included three different students in the fourth semester English Education Program in Muhammadiyah University of Jember.
