Abstract

The COVID-19 school closure has forced teachers to move classes to virtual settings. For teachers who have never experienced teaching courses online, this technology-mediated teaching presents several challenges that could prevent them from delivering the teaching material effectively. This study employed an open-ended questionnaire to explore the main barriers faced by four English teachers who were new to remote teaching and the steps they did to transform face-to-face (F2F) classes into functioning e-learning courses. The paper showed the teachers’ perspectives that might be useful for other novices in preparing for virtual classes. Findings showed three major points related to participants’ attempts to overcome the limitations of technological competency and social barriers, the instructional strategies they used to develop the content for online classes through multimedia integration, and their reflections on teaching English online. Finally, the findings shed light on how to prepare and implement effective online teaching that meets the needs of beginning online teachers.
