E-learning in efl education in Algeria’s higher education: students' views

Abstract EN

This study delves into the perceptions of EFL students regarding the benefits and drawbacks of employing e-learning in EFL education.

With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Algerian universities have increasingly turned to e-learning to ensure continuous educational engagement, and consequently, started to integrate it into its different programmes.

Through this research, we seek to uncover the advantages and disadvantages of e-learning as perceived by learners.

To achieve this, we conducted an electronic questionnaire among 30 EFL students from diverse Algerian universities.

The results indicate that students' views on the effectiveness of e-learning are tempered by its associated challenges and drawbacks, leading to a less than overwhelmingly positive stance.
