Popis: The use of LMS in learning activities can be done anywhere. A similar application was applied to learning English specifically for midwifery students on Flores Island during the covid-19 pandemic. This study aims to describe the perception of midwifery students about the use of LMS in English learning activities. This study is qualitative research with a case study approach. The study was conducted on midwifery students at the Universitas Katolik Indonesia Santu Paulus Ruteng. Data were collected using interviews, observation, and documentation. Determination of the informant is done purposively with a total of 10 students. The results showed that students had a positive perception of LMS use. LMS is considered to have several advantages that students can use to interact with lecturers and fellow students. In addition, the use of various learning methods such as discussions on chat forums and Question & Answer by utilizing LMS encourages the achievement of student learning goals. However, students urged that they found several barriers to using the LMS, especially related to the instability of the internet network, running out of internet credit, and lack of knowledge and skills in operating the LMS. Against these obstacles, students apply various practical and applicable strategies that can be carried out spontaneously to minimize the impact of any obstacles found, including collaborative strategies that involve the participation of lecturers and other staff.
