Abstract
Thanks to Covid 19, E-learning has become a very popular tool in the learning and
teaching process. This study aims to explore the challenges faced by the students and
teachers in E-learning and investigate the effectiveness of this mode of learning
according to the teachers' and students' experience, at the department of English,
Abbas Laghrour University, Khenchela, Algeria. Therefore, a students’ questionnaire
and a teachers’ questionnaire was designed and administered to 63 randomly selected
first year students and 11 teachers of the department of English. The collected data
was both quantitative and qualitative in nature, and the related findings revealed that
most of the students and the teachers have common problems in using E-learning such
as the internet coverage, lack of equipment and the overloaded courses’ syllabus.
Moreover, the students declared that E-learning is effective to some extent while most
of the teachers revealed it is not useful. Accordingly, some of the students and
teachers are still hesitated and unsure about using E-learning in the future, and some
teachers showed that mainstreaming E-learning is still debatable.
