| Résumé : | The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated a rapid shift to online learning (e-learning) in Algerian universities. Prior to the pandemic, e-learning adoption was limited. This sudden transition presented both opportunities and challenges. The present study investigates the opportunities and limitations of e-learning in post-COVID era for Master's 1 English Language (EFL) students in department of English at University of Saida, Algeria. A mixed-methods approach was employed, utilizing a questionnaire for 51 students and interviews with 5 teachers from the same department. The findings reveal a nuanced picture. E-learning offers increased accessibility and flexibility for geographically distant students or those with scheduling constraints, potentially broadening educational opportunities. However, a clear consensus on its effectiveness compared to traditional learning is absent. While students find online courses helpful for improving English language skills, the student survey suggests room for improvement in online teaching delivery. Both students and teachers highlighted unreliable internet connectivity as a major hurdle. Teacher interviews further emphasized the need for training on using online platforms effectively and managing online assessments securely. Overall, e-learning presents a mixed bag. While it offers opportunities for accessibility, language skill development, and teacher upskilling, limitations in infrastructure, teacher training, and online assessment require attention. A well-defined university strategy with targeted training programs and infrastructure development is crucial for successful e-learning implementation at Saida University. |
