Not only presenters but also participants can affect the process of online classroom presentations, including the discussion in question-and-answer sessions. Sometimes, several EFL learners who participate in online classroom presentations do not actively join the discussion by asking the presenters questions, suggestions, or objections. Various reasons may affect the issues, including the challenges the participants face. Therefore, this study aims to determine the challenges of EFL learners as participants during online classroom presentations.

The researchers used descriptive qualitative methods and questionnaires as instruments to collect and analyze the data. The researchers found that 61% of the respondents often and sometimes joined the discussion, and 39,1% of the respondents rarely joined the discussion.

The sample used in this study based on the population mentioned above is the 6th semester students of creative writing classes for the academic year 2017/2018. The total sample of students is 30 students, divided into 17 male and 13 female students. Data collection was carried out through two stages, namely pretest and posttest. Based on the analysis results, the result of normality test in pre-test showed t-count (2, 5312) and t-table (11,070), then Ho is refused and Ha is received. The result of normality test in post-test showed t-count (1, 8682) and t-table (11,070), then H0 is refused and H1 is received. The result of homogenity in pretest showed Fcount = 1,228 and Ftable = 1,858. Fcount ≤ F table or 1,228 ≤ 1,858 then Ho is accepted. Moreover, the result of homogenity in posttest showed Fcount = 1.140 and Ftable = 1.858. Fcount ≤ F table or 1,140 ≤ 1,858 then Ho is accepted. The linearity test results from the table can be calculated F ¬ 1.4908 and F table 2.41 with a significant level α = 0.05, then it can be concluded from the results of the linearity calculation of this linear patterned data.
