Abstract

The development of the notorious Pandemic, Covid 19, forbade any form of face-to-face teacher-student interaction. As a result, on March 12th, 2020, the Algerian government made unprecedented decisions to close all universities and replace traditional classrooms with digital-based learning as a last resort to continue the academic year. Moreover, after the end of the pandemic, teachers and learners were confused whether to carry on with the new digital-based learning or comeback to the classical methods of teaching. This study aims to discover students' tendencies and reactions toward digital-based learning and asses their readiness to accept it. The overall population of the current case study included 150 second-year English students at Dr Moulay Tahar University, where we used questionnaires as a research tool. The findings revealed an unfavorable attitude toward Digital-based learning and also suggested that the primary causes for this negative attitude were multiple shortages at the level of materials and the difficulties faced while accessing the platform "Moodle."
