“…Moreover, discussions may take place with the students to keep the classes interactive, while lectures are also available on mobile phones and laptops (Basilaia, Dgebuadze, Kantaria, & Chokhonelidze, 2020). He (2020) proposed to continue the college teaching of English throughout the COVID-19 virus shut down period via online learning where both teachers and learners can build an interactive learning environment. In Saudi Arabia, because students' expectations were in favor of e-learning for English as a Foreign Language (ESL) and English as a Second Language (EFL) classes, the researchers called for its adoption as a viable means of learning during the pandemic owing to its significant benefits and marginal drawbacks (Ahmad, 2020).…”
