The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has been affecting every field all over the world, especially education. One of the most obvious changes in education is the transition from on-campus learning to online learning. However, this process requires careful preparation for learners' perception. This study, therefore, aims to investigate the perception of acceptance and use of urgent online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic among Third-year students of the Faculty of English, University of Foreign Language Studies, The University of Da Nang (UFLs, UD). With the main survey method by questionnaires, the study found that attitude, motivation, self-efficacy, and use of technology play an important role in cognitive engagement and student learning outcomes. Based on the aforementioned findings, this paper produces some recommendations for educators and students to improve students' perception of online teaching and learning.
