Abstract

The main objective of the current study was to identify the challenges faced by the teachers while utilizing blended learning in teaching EFL during COVID-19 at cycle two schools in Oman. A qualitative inquiry method based on semi-structured interviews was used. Thematic analysis was utilized for analyzing the interviews. Seven English teachers were interviewed at cycle two schools. The results showed that the main challenges faced by teachers revolved around their failure to efficiently use digital and software applications and fix several hardware-related bugs during their various BL teaching sessions. This failure emerged due to teachers' lack of training and poor ICT skills. The study recommends conducting further studies on the effectiveness of training programs to develop teachers’ competencies and enhance their attitudes towards the use of BL during pandemics.

阿曼第二阶段学校新冠肺炎疫情期间教师运用混合式学习进行英语教学面临的挑战
本研究的主要目的是确定阿曼第二阶段学校在COVID-19期间使用混合学习进行英语教学时教师面临的挑战。采用基于半结构化访谈的定性调查方法。访谈分析采用专题分析。7名英语教师在第二阶段的学校接受了采访。结果表明,教师面临的主要挑战是未能有效地使用数字和软件应用程序,以及在各种BL教学过程中修复几个与硬件相关的错误。这种失败是由于教师缺乏培训和信息通信技术技能差造成的。该研究建议进一步研究培训方案的有效性,以培养教师的能力,并提高他们在大流行期间使用BL的态度。
