This research aimed to investigate nursing students’ perceptions toward instructional interactions in online classes of English for Nursing Course. The study was descriptive, in which a structured questionnaire and in-depth interview were employed to 40 nursing students. The results showed that many students agreed that online classes of English for Nursing created a new learning paradigm. They also agreed that the teacher played an important role to facilitate teacher-student and student-student interactions. Besides, learning media and internet connection facility helped them to find online classes attractive. Thus, the researchers suggested teachers of English for Nursing to play their role well in providing instructional interactions and attractive learning media. The availability of stabile connection also needs to be facilitated.
