2023
Overview
The implementation of technology has enabled language teachers to adopt online applications and instruments to improve learners' skills under complex conditions such as the coronavirus pandemic. Subsequently, as learning technologies improve, EFL teachers face a variety of challenges in language teaching. This study focuses on the challenges faced by EFL teachers in the implementation of online education during the coronavirus pandemic, particularly in Iraq. In achieving the goals of this study, 30 EFL teachers who worked in English language institutes in Iraq participated in the study. These institutes were closed to prevent the adverse effects of the virus. This research is an exploratory mixed method research whereby questionnaire and interviews were used to explore the teachers' challenges in online teaching and the efficiency of online classrooms. This research focused on two research questions; Are the technology integration and online classes helpful during Coronavirus pandemic situation? and What are the most important challenges of teaching in integration of technology during Coronavirus pandemic situation? The findings indicated that, although Iraqi EFL teachers could perform the applications and platforms efficiently, there are many challenges such as lack of appropriate materials, learners' lack of attention and demotivation towards online classes, lack of funding and support for language institutions. In contrary to these problems, the results of the questionnaire which evaluate the technology efficiency in Iraq, many teachers have positive beliefs about the adaptation of technology in Iraq and mentioned that technologies can be fruitful for these situations to decrease the distance between learners and teachers. Moreover, EFL teachers, stockholders, policy makers, and institutions can benefit from the results of the study and analyze their performance during pandemic circumstances.
