The following study investigates Swedish university students’ views on online education during the Covid-19 pandemic, with a focus on the students who are enrolled in the English language teacher education program and programs with a substantial English subject component. With the outbreak of SARS-COV-2 in late 2019, universities all around the world including Sweden shifted to online teaching. Such a transition to emergency online teaching fueled discussions on the effectiveness of online education, and students’ views and opinions on the subject, therefore need to be investigated. Against this background, a mixed-methods study was carried out using a survey and interviews with university students. The findings show that participants have a divided opinion when it comes to their views on online teaching, especially when it comes to social interaction, motivation, group work, and technical aspects of teaching. However, participants seem to largely agree that the ability to improve their language learning skills turned out to be one of the biggest obstacles during the pandemic. Overall, the participating students had different ways of adapting to and dealing with this new learning environment. Based on the findings from the study, it can be argued that online teaching requires a great deal of self-discipline, and willingness to adapt to a changing learning environment.
