Efforts to curb the spread of the Covid-19 virus have been carried out on a large scale around the world, and among the measures that have been taken is to change the mode of learning among students in universities to online learning. Although various online learning platforms have been made available for student use, the level of mastery of students as well as the challenges they face to maximize the use of technology while studying from home is still understudied. This study will add to the previous research by focusing on the aspects of English language online learning processes experienced by Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM) students during the Movement Control Order period. This study collected qualitative data through open-ended questions which were distributed online, involving 29 first-year students from the Bachelor of English with Commerce (BELCOM). The data revealed two (2) categories of challenges – external and internal. Internet connection and environment are for external while understanding and communication are for internal. In relation to each of the challenges, the respondents also shared their coping mechanisms which are two-pronged. Some respondents just accepted those hurdles while many of them took charge and took action in solving the problems. These coping mechanisms could be used as guides for other learners facing difficulties in learning online at home. Usaha untuk membendung penyebaran virus Covid-19 telah dilakukan secara besar-besaran di seluruh dunia, dan antara langkah-langkah yang telah diambil adalah dengan mengubah cara pembelajaran di kalangan pelajar di universiti kepada pembelajaran secara atas talian. Walaupun pelbagai platform pembelajaran atas talian telah disediakan untuk kemudahan para pelajar, namun tahap penguasaan pelajar serta cabaran yang dihadapi untuk memaksimumkan penggunaan teknologi semasa belajar dari rumah masih kurang dikaji. Kajian ini akan menambah data penyelidikan sebelumnya dengan memfokuskan aspek proses pembelajaran atas talian Bahasa Inggeris yang dialami oleh para pelajar Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM) semasa tempoh Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan. Kajian ini menggunakan data kualitatif berdasarkan soalan terbuka yang dibuat secara atas talian kepada 29 pelajar tahun satu Sarjana Muda Bahasa Inggeris dengan Perdagangan (BELCOM). Data menunjukkan bahawa terdapat dua (2) kategori cabaran iaitu luaran dan dalaman. Bagi luaran, cabaran-cabaran yang diutarakan adalah sambungan Internet dan persekitaran. Manakala bagi dalaman, cabaran-cabaran yang terbabit adalah kefahaman dan juga komunikasi. Selari dengan setiap cabaran yang dinyatakan, para responden juga menyatakan cara mereka mendepani cabaran tersebut. Didapati mereka sama ada mengharungi cabaran tersebut tanpa berbuat apa-apa ataupun mengambil tindakan untuk menyelesaikan masalah yang dihadapi. Mekanisma yang diambil oleh pelajar-pelajar dalam mendepani cabaran ini dapat dijadikan panduan bagi pelajar lain yang mengikuti pembelajaran atas talian dari rumah
