EFL University Instructors’ Perception Regarding E- Learning

Abstract

In the era of COVID- 19 pandemic, technology has played a fundamental role because all the educational systems have been changed. Educational Institutions around the world start to present and deliver lectures and lessons through electronic mediums either synchronously or asynchronously, and sometimes blended so as to promote learning and implement the recommendations of World Health Organization of social distancing.

This study aims at finding how Iraqi EFL university instructors perceive e- learning and if there are any significant differences between them due to their gender and years of experience. The participants are (65) instructors from the departments of English in the college of Education / Ibn Rushd for Human sciences and the College of Education for Women at the University of Baghdad. An online closed questionnaire has been submitted to the participants using Google forms. The results reveal that Iraqi EFL university instructors have positively perceived e- learning, and that there are no significant differences between them according to their gender and their years of experience.
