Abstract
COVID-19 opened new doors for educational institutions to adopt a hybrid system, combining face-to-face and online teaching. While strategies for face-to-face instruction have evolved, researchers are now focusing on developing online teaching methods. This research aimed to create an instrument to identify students' preferred methods for learning English online and to determine the factors influencing online English instruction. Using an Exploratory Sequential Mixed Method design, the study combined focus group discussions (FGD) and a survey. The FGD involved 12 tertiary students who took English online. Their responses revealed key factors influencing online English teaching: interactive activities, varied learning styles, flexible scheduling, modular course content, diverse technology, and effective feedback and assessment. These insights guided the development of an 18-item questionnaire to measure students' preferred online English teaching methods. The questionnaire was pilot tested on 140 tertiary students. Exploratory Factor Analysis showed 89.9% adequacy and a reliability score of 0.8 using Cronbach's alpha. The survey results supported the FGD findings, emphasizing students' preference for interactive activities and the need for teachers to accommodate diverse learning styles. The researchers recommend further validation of the instrument and exploring its applicability to other disciplines.
