“…The introduction of etutoring as a mechanism for student academic assistance and development in higher education is critical for skills to become relevant in labour markets. This line of reasoning supports (Ece & Kazazoğlu, 2021;Tuncay, 2021;Zalat, Hamed, & Bolbol, 2021)'s assertion that pupils would benefit from such an undertaking, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic's negative impacts. True, because e-tutoring provides students with substantial fundamental benefits such as convenience, ease of participation, lower costs, and technology-driven benefits (Gherhes, Stoian & Farcasiu, 2021).…”

“…This finding suggests that while instructors generally find online teaching to be satisfactory, there may still be room for improvement. Similarly, Ece and Kazazoğlu (2021) found that EFL instructors' job satisfaction level with teaching online was at moderate level. Understanding the specific aspects that contribute to this moderate level of satisfaction can help identify areas that may require attention and support.…”

The aim of this study is to examine the satisfaction level of instructors teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL) online at the tertiary level in Türkiye. The mixed-method research design was used to understand the nature of the existing state. In the quantitative part of the study, a total of 106 EFL instructors were included while there were 7 EFL instructors in the qualitative part of the study. The data were obtained through the “Online Instructor Satisfaction Measure (OISM)”, and an interview form consisting of 8 open-ended questions. Descriptive statistics were used in the analysis of the quantitative data while content analysis was employed for the analysis of qualitative data. The overall satisfaction level of EFL instructors with online teaching was found to be at moderate level. The findings revealed that EFL instructors identified various personal and system-related factors that facilitated their interaction with students in the online learning environment. On the other hand, they stated that student-to-student interaction was limited in online teaching, which poses a challenge for instructors. Additionally, assessment was one of the challenges of online teaching as well as internet loss, lack of interaction. They also stated that online teaching provided flexibility and wide range of resources as well as saving time. This study highlighted the importance of evaluating and enhancing online teaching practices to ensure instructors' satisfaction.

“…Previous studies don't show consensus on the impact of years of experience on teachers' job satisfaction. While some found that that years of experience was not a predictor of overall teaching satisfaction (Camilli, 2004;Ece & Kazazoğlu, 2021;Topchyan & Woehler, 2021) others revealed that teaching experience is a determining factor for job satisfaction (Ferguson et al, 2012;Howe et al, 2018).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic meant fast changes for language educators. Understanding how teachers experienced online language teaching during the recent pandemic is crucial for the language teaching profession in order to better prepare instructors for future scenarios in which a move to online instruction may be necessary again. Language instructors’ experiences can help inform administrators and program directors about potential gaps in teacher training or support needed for effective language instruction. This study investigates the experiences and challenges that increased or decreased language teachers’ feelings of satisfaction with teaching online. As an exploratory study, both quantitative and qualitative methods are included in order to capture a broad picture of teacher job satisfaction. The results indicate common challenges faced by teachers during online instruction, and the qualitative analyses of correlations between pre-identified factors impacting job satisfaction allowed us to measure the strength between these factors and job satisfactions; pre-defined factors included familiarity and ease of technology, relevance of training, and expectations of how long online/distance education would last. We conclude this study with a discussion of how these findings can be used to better prepare for future shifts to online teaching, including strategic use of training, programmatic changes in teaching load, and the role of technology in facilitating the delivery of content and interaction between instructors and students.
