The purpose of this research is to explore the impact of e-learning on the attitudes of secondyear students at SMAN 2 Sumbawa towards learning a second language. The study employs a
mixed-methods approach, combining both qualitative and quantitative methods to provide a
comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon. A questionnaire was developed to measure
the students' attitudes, specifically focusing on their motivation, engagement, and perception
of virtual learning. This questionnaire was distributed via Google Forms through WhatsApp
to 80 randomly selected third-year Senior High School students, ensuring diverse responses
across the participant pool. The findings reveal that virtual instruction has a significant
positive effect on students' attitudes toward second language acquisition. The data suggest that
e-learning fosters an engaging and flexible learning environment, enhancing student
motivation and receptivity to language learning. These findings highlight the potential of
virtual instruction as a valuable tool in language education, especially in the context of Senior
High Schools in Sumbawa.
