The recent outbreak of Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic is the most global disruptive pandemics which affects the society in general and particularly in education. Malaysia has been aware of this pandemic and it leads the government to impose a Movement Control Order (MCO) to contain the spread of the pandemic. Covid19 pandemic has had such a huge impact on the global education sector. Conventional teaching and learning have been replaced with online learning due to the school's closure. Many education centers rushed to convert the curriculum to online learning by considering the available technology devices, online learning platforms, and internet connection. Conducting teaching and learning via online platforms is very challenging to both the teachers and pupils particularly ESL primary school teachers and the ESL upper primary school pupils. All ESL primary school teachers and ESL upper primary school pupils are not ready with the unprecedented way of teaching and learning. However, teaching and learning should take place despite MCO so that there will be no child left behind. Therefore, many public schools in Malaysia are integrating Google Classroom in online teaching and learning. Thus, this paper aims to explore the challenges towards the integration of Google Classroom in teaching and learning among the ESL primary teachers, ESL upper primary pupils, and parents during MCO due to Covid - 19 outbreak.
