Abstract

Since the covid-19 outbreak started in earlier of 2020, institutions, schools, universities, and many other financial departments found themselves in a face of a righteous virus that has altered the function of everything. Due to this covid-19 pandemic, governments have taken measures to limit and to besiege the virus spread, such as quarantine and the suspension of all academic activities in both public and private institutions. “The covid-19 has resulted in schools shut down all across the world. Globally, over1.2 billion children are out of the classroom" ”C.LI, F. Lalalni, 2020. Such measures have disrupted the course of education, obliging the responsible people of different institutions to take urgent actions in order to keep on the natural flow of teaching and learning, and to help educators maintain a better course of education. So due to this covid pandemic, education has changed dramatically, and has adopted E-learning in different digital platforms. The new type of learning that has been presented and established in the Algerian schools, mainly universities has brought educators into a hot debate on whether this type of learning is effective or not, and whether we should actually shift into E-learning instead of traditional type. This research paper examines the new type of teaching that is established in the covid-19 pandemic, and whether it has positive or negative effects on education in general and on institutions in particular. A questionnaire has been administered in the English department at Batna 2 University to gain insights, and to shed light on the different challenges and obstacles that are facing teachers. Results are analyzed and reported, along with some future measurements that can be taken as recommendations.
