Eventually, there are many benefits that students have been faced by doing OCL during this current situation. Therefore, the researcher wants to investigate the benefits of OCL according to students’ points of view. Descriptive qualitative research was designed for this research to answer the research question by digging deeper into participants’ answers by using interview for collecting the data.

To sum up, the researcher would inform about the benefits that students and teachers have to be aware more about OCL especially during the Covid-19 pandemic eventually and to support other researchers to arise the same topic.
