Assessing Moroccan EFL Students’ Perceived Learning Experience during Covid-19 Pandemic

Summary/Abstract: As part of its efforts to cope with the period of forced confinement caused by the emergence of COVID-19 pandemic, the ministry of education has called for the shift to hybrid teaching and learning. Indeed, in an answer to the call of the ministry, the Moroccan universities rushed into suggesting several available platforms through which students and teachers can interact. As such, the present study aims at investigating the extent to which EFL Moroccan students use these platforms and how they perceive their online learning experience during the confinement with respect to the platforms used. A quantitative research design underpinned the study. Thus, based on their convenience, a sample of 145 EFL students completed questionnaires distributed to them using Google forms. SPSS was used to analyze the data. Drawing from the findings, online tools that received higher frequency of use by students were WhatsApp, Faceebook and Zoom. Findings also showed that a significant number of the students were not satisfied with the interaction run through these tools. Finally, implications and recommendations were discussed.
