Abstract


The present research is aimed at investigating how EFL teachers carry out online EFL teaching and its challenges. 10 EFL teachers volunteered to participate in this research through invitation. The EFL teachers were requested to fill online questionnaire and write guided reflections regarding their online- teaching practices and the challenges they encounter. To validate the data, The EFL teachers were invited to join google meeting for discussion. Data coding was done and appropriate extracts were informed in results section.  The findings show that, the EFL teachers have carried out online teaching through a series of activities ranging from checking the students’ attendance to assign students some  works synchronously. Various applications and platforms ranging from learning management system to additional resource are employed. However, many problems emerge from the students, the teachers, and the students’ parents. As a result, the online teaching and learning does not run well as expected. For overall problems, it stems from teachers’ lack of preparation and planning.  Implications for better online learning are discussed. Future prospective researches are directed and encouraged.
