EFL Instructors’ Perceptions of Evolving Roles of Post-Pandemic Teachers and Students: Learning and Assessment

Summary/Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has had substantial and persistent impacts on pedagogical methodologies and student assessment practices. This study provides an overview of language educators’ perceptions of the post-pandemic era, synthesizing the factors that undermine the effectiveness of student learning and assessment in online and face-toface classrooms. Additionally, it offers insight into the potential opportunities and challenges associated with teaching and learning in the future. For this purpose, views of 15 English language teachers affiliated in a school of foreign languages were obtained through an online questionnaire in a Word document. The participants provided answers to the questions by comparing their practices before, during, and after the pandemic. Data collected were subjected to content analysis. Findings revealed that the sudden transition to online education brought many challenges and uncertainties that affected mostly assessment processes and interactions negatively, which caused serious concerns in students’ actual performance and fairness of the scores.
