Because of the spread and outbreak of COVID-19, learning and teaching forms have significantly altered at all levels, from high school to higher education. Most educational institutions have applied video conferencing in learning and teaching to maintain learning and teaching activities. Video conferencing is used to facilitate the learning and teaching process between instructors and learners during an epidemic. The study involved 203 students from six majors, including Human Resources Management (HR), Accounting, Insurance, Business Administration (BA), Social Works, and Labor Economics (LE), to explore students’ views on English learning and teaching via video conferencing at the University of Labor and Social Affairs (Campus 2) (ULSA2). A well-structured questionnaire was used to gather data from respondents. The data revealed that ULSA2 students have a positive attitude toward video conferencing learning, with significant differences in attitude across gender, technical proficiency, and competencies.
