Abstract : Using a qualitative-quantitative research design, this study evaluated the influence of online- distance instruction (ODI) on the English language acquisition of college students amidst the Covid-19 pandemic at Partido State University, Camarines Sur, Philippines. The study specifically examined the effects of ODI on college students' performance in terms of: attendance, punctuality, required English language skills and competencies. Furthermore, it analyzed the students' proficiency in English through online-distance learning in the areas of: writing, grammar proficiency, oral communication, study techniques, presentation abilities, and research skills. The study also investigated the students' attitudes towards English language education in the context of online and distance learning. Ultimately, it proposed effective teaching methodologies to enhance students' English language performance in online- distance learning environments of 165 college student- participants. The findings indicate that the impact of online-distance instruction on college students' performance in terms of attendance, punctuality, and required skills and competencies is influenced by various challenges faced by the students. The students' performance in English through online-distance learning is significantly affected by the nature of online and distance learning itself. Moreover, the study revealed that students' attitudes towards English language education in online and distance learning settings are less favorable compared to traditional face-to-face instruction. To enhance students' English language performance in online-distance learning, the study recommends the implementation of three key teaching strategies: lecture method, laboratory method, and cooperative learning. These strategies are deemed beneficial for addressing the needs of student-respondents, particularly in the context of a pandemic in developing countries like the Philippines.
