In the era of 21st century, technology has replaced the old-style teaching tools like textbooks and blackboard. The digital classroom is now promoted as a new trend in current educational policies. This paper takes a systematic approach to access the students' perceptions on the use of technology in learning English and factors influencing “e-learning". This paper was analysed and synthesised thoroughly with 21 articles chosen from the year 2016 until 2020 from the databases Eric and Google Scholar. Most of the studies used quantitative and mixed method in exploring the students' perception on the use of technology in learning English and factors influencing “e-learning". In general, most of the users established the same perception as the technology does help the learning of English language.

Glazer, F. S. (2012). What continues to impress me about blended learning is its versatility: The instructional design of a course can vary dramatically to reflect the style of the instructor and the nature of the discipline. Common to all successful blended learning courses, though, is active learning in one form or another and, of course, an increased use of technology. The blended learning courses we have seen all incorporate more interactions, among the students and between students and the instructor.
