Abstract
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.
