Abstract

With the sudden outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, the education sector adopted distance and online learning through several web-based systems. Then, considerations of educational practitioners concerning these systems would be of pivotal significance for revealing the quality of online language education. Moreover, the challenges they encountered while conducting e-lessons and proposed solutions would lead to improvement in the systems and encourage other shareholders in the school system to determine a new route map in light of the results. To that end, 28 volunteer English language instructors from 14 universities were recruited to attend the interviews. Accordingly, negative considerations of the instructors about exploiting the systems in foreign language classes were detected. As conclusive results regarding the challenges and suggestions of the participants cannot be reported through a system-based analysis, systemindependent offers were presented to policymakers and researchers. Finally, the researcher has drawn out a set of implications for future implementations.
