UMY has established a program called MyKlass as a facility to do online learning. This program provides many features, such as sharing materials in the form of documents, pictures, or media; conducting quizzes; assignment submission; and attendance. However, teaching ESP using MyKlass also faces some difficulties such as students' motivation to read the material, the teacher's control in evaluating students' study progress, and students' problem in improving English vocabulary in specialized language. Using a questionnaire distributed to 234 Accounting and Mechanical Engineering students, the writers found out the students' perception of using MyKlass from their motivation and perception in learning ESP using MyKlass, their perception of the aspects of benefits, and their perception of learning ESP Using MyKlass. Most of the answers showed positive responses; therefore, we can conclude that ESP online learning using MyKlass has been very beneficial to the students regardless of the technical problems that students sometimes encounter. Keywords: ESP, MyKlass, online learning, students' motivation Introduction The demand for English in business, technology, media, education, medicine, and science, strives for English for Specific Purposes (ESP) to satisfy people with associated instrumental objectives (Tsao, 2008; Xu, 2008, Lin, 2013, Rao, 2019). ESP courses are offered to students to meet their specific needs, regarding the considerable need for English in academic and professional contexts (Chang, 2009; Tsao, 2011, Lin, 2013). Hutchinson and Waters (1987: 19) argue that ESP is a methodology in language teaching wherein the purpose of students' learning determines its content and procedure. Strevens (1988) defined English language teaching ESP as teaching the English language expected to fulfill a learner's particular needs. Lorenzo (2005) explained that "Typically, ESP students are adults who already have some knowledge of English and are studying the language to convey a range of technical skills and conduct basic job-related functions." Hutchinson and Waters (1987) revealed three reasons for ESP's occurrence: the new world requirement, the linguistics revolution, and the new emphasis on students.
