Abstract :
To break the virus chain, the government of the Republic of Indonesia implemented an online learning method that temporarily closed the teaching and learning process in schools and universities. However, not all areas or places in Indonesia have enough internet connectivity, and the limits of online learning tools such as smartphones prevent people from studying effectively online, causing a few Indonesian schools to combine online and offline learning, or blended learning. Indonesian schools use an online platform that is simple to use for teachers and students to engage in online learning or blended learning. WhatsApp Messenger is one of them. Despite the fact that WhatsApp is very familiar and simple to use, not all Indonesian students are familiar with this learning method, therefore this is a new thing that students must adjust to. Students' perceptions on the use of WhatsApp in this learning method may differ as well. As a result, the purpose of this research is to see how students' perceptions on blended English learning are related to their educational experiences.
