The growth of education in Malaysia should be in line with the current development of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), as teaching methods have shifted from traditional teacher-centered to student-centered, as well as the skills required for a quality teacher are altering from time to time. However, English language teachers are not driven which will undesirably affect students’ performance despite all the efforts that have been made to improve the development of education. Therefore, the paper aims to present a systematic review of appropriate published studies to determine ESL teachers’ attitudes towards the use of e-learning and identify issues faced by ESL teachers in the use of e-learning. This review synthesized findings from 22 journal articles published from the year 2016-2020 from Google Scholar and Eric accordingly. Overall, the results showed that there is positive reinforcement with the proper usage and incorporation of e-learning in the teaching of the English language as that will aid the teachers to perform better and create the quality level of students.
