In the 1st half of 2020, most of the students across the globe had to go through on-line distance learning due to the serious outbreak of the global pandemic Covid-19 and education experts predict that the on-line learning will grow significantly. Therefore, the quality enhancement of online teaching and learning has emerged as a critical issue. This study analyzes the perception on distance learning of 105 undergraduate students in interpreting and translation courses after they had experienced the on-line distance learning for a semester. The survey questions comprise three parts, i.e. personal information, opinions on distance learning, and experiences and perceptions on learning under the Covid-19 pandemic. The survey result shows that effective management of time and space is the greatest advantage of on-line learning, whereas the lack of communication and feedback is the biggest disadvantage. Under the Covid-19 pandemic, the respondents have gone through psychological/emotional distress more than physical constraints. For the quality enhancement of on-line education, feedbacks on students’ learning process need to be provided frequently, and psychological/emotional as well as system and economic supports are needed to better support students who are struggling to adapt to the new learning environment.
