The educators and students are facing the ripple effects of the sudden shift to digital learning. Some postgraduate students seemed to recognize and prepare to embrace the dramatic shift. In any case, some were hesitant to move from customary figuring out ways to embrace digital learning. Therefore, several articles discussing impacts and challenges from postgraduate students' perspectives were summarized. Most of the current research recommended digital learning as one splendid approach to adapt during the pandemic period. Besides, study showed postgraduates' undergoing an assimilation process with the new norm introduced. Furthermore, existing research highlights postgraduate student's challenges such as technological difficulties, health, and lack of interaction. Thus, this paper aims to provide a literature review on digital learning from postgraduate student's perspectives of various papers and indicate the way forward.

Almost all elements of education were affected by the epidemics of covid-19, which resulted in significant educational disruption. Teachers and students have experienced a variety of changes that have led them to reconstruct the most recent educational paradigm, which is indeed appealing to discuss academically. This research attempted to conceptually describe the trend in English teaching practice prior to and after the Covid-19 epidemic. According to the evidence, the most frequently noticed difficulty created by the pandemic is the change from direct learning to online learning, which occurs almost immediately. The use of learning management systems (LMS) and social media is being used to fill in the gaps created as a result of school closures. Because of the dramatic shift in the pattern of teaching and learning, new difficulties are constantly being introduced into the classroom. The discrepancies involved shifts in teaching practices in terms of learning media, instructional methodologies, and evaluation methods. In order to mitigate these issues, the majority of suggestions are to ensure a dependable network infrastructure; use user-friendly learning applications; adopt appropriate online learning sources; provide supports; provide feedback; combine asynchronous and synchronous communication; conduct the online assessment through online discussion; and provide students with the opportunity to choose the best method of communication.

One of the most critical aspects of an effective language learner, according to studies, is the adoption of efficient language learning strategies. As the outbreak of the Coronavirus 19 (COVID-19) pandemic has created alterations to the educational sector in which, including the Online Distance Learning (ODL) has become pivotal. On the other hand, suitable language learning strategies should be accessible and accommodating to all learners. Therefore, it is essential to ensure students' English language mastery in any educational environment. This study aimed to identify the most frequent Language Learning Strategies (LLS) utilised by undergraduate learners of English as a second language and to study the factors of specific LLS preferred by the learners during the ODL in the pandemic of Covid-19. This research incorporated a mixed-method design by employing both quantitative and qualitative methods. The research instrument for the quantitative approach is the online questionnaire namely Strategy of Inventory Language Learning (SILL) version 7.0 was adopted and adapted from Oxford (1989). The questionnaire was distributed using a purposive sampling to 78 respondents at a public university in Malaysia namely University Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM). The second research instrument is semi-structured interviews conducted with 10 participants. Quantitative data was analysed and presented in a descriptive analysis to identify the most frequent LLS used by the participants. Moreover, the qualitative data was scrutinised and coded using thematic analysis. The quantitative results indicated a high preference for social strategies followed by metacognitive, compensation, cognitive, memory, and affective strategies. Thematic analysis for the qualitative method revealed that the social strategies utilised by the students were influenced by achievement goal-oriented, and a learning environment.
