The rapid shift toward online education—accelerated by global disruptions such as the COVID‐19 pandemic—has transformed how English is taught and learned. This thesis investigates how online education influences the English‐language learning process, examining both benefits and challenges. Through a review of recent studies spanning high school to university levels, key factors such as learner autonomy, interaction, technology access, motivation, self‐regulation, and speaking skill development are analysed. The findings show that while online education offers flexibility, increased learner control, and varied digital resources that positively impact certain aspects like reading comprehension, it also poses obstacles like reduced real‐time interaction, technology barriers, and challenges in speaking practice. The paper concludes with recommendations for educators and policy makers to mitigate downsides and maximize the effectiveness of online English learning environments.
