The shift from face-to-face to distance learning has challenged English Language teaching and learning. The present study aims to determine the ESL students’ affective filter level and the varied language learning strategies they employed to aid their learning in English online classes. The descriptive-quantitative research design was employed in this study since it used the mean percentage and the mode of the data gathered. The researchers employed a total remuneration sampling technique to select 48 respondents of the study and utilized two research instruments: Modified Attitude Motivation Test Battery (AMTB) and Oxford’s Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL) version 7.0. As a result, it was found that ESL students have a low affective filter in English online classes. However, students were able to come up with their language learning strategies as ways of enhancing their language competence. Therefore, teachers may provide suitable learning activities in online classes, and students need to enhance their usage of language learning strategies to facilitate their learning. Parents may also support and encourage their children's goals to learn the English language.
