Abstract

This study actively examines the resilience of online learning in EFL (English as a foreign language) instruction during the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on adaptive strategies and resources in Saudi Universities. It shows a significant research gap in how these digital learning strategies have adapted post-pandemic to be sustainable. However, the chapter also provides a qualitative and quantitative analysis of strategies among 84 EFL teachers (81% male, 19% female) used to collect data on online learning experiences during the pandemic. Findings reveal significant increases in teachers' and students' digital skills, facilitating adaptation to online learning environments and continuing those practices. These positive outcomes offer hope and optimism for the future of online learning. It concludes by recommending that research be expanded to include different academic disciplines, including students in remote areas, and to explore new instructional methods and support strategies for asynchronous learning to meet the challenges of scheduling and Internet connectivity.
