IMPACTS FROM COVID-19 PANDEMIC IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE CLASSROOM

Abstract

This text aims to present the results of a survey that investigated how English classes were taught and how teachers reacted to emergency remote classes caused by the Covid-19 pandemic in the first half of 2020. A questionnaire with eleven discursive questions was made available via Google Forms for English teachers in June 2020. Twenty-four teachers working in language institutes, public and private schools of regular education in basic education answered the questions. The results show that remote teaching by means of digital platform caused difficulties and concerns regarding the teaching-learning process as a whole. On the other hand, teachers claim that this new format can advance in the promotion of digital literacy, however face-to-face classes must be maintained.
