De la classe en présentiel à la classe en distanciel pendant la COVID 19 Une étude du cas jordanien

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has invaded almost the entire planet. Thisdisease forced the Jordanian education and university system to make a sudden transition from traditional classroom teaching / learning to a virtual world in which teachers and learners found themselves faced with previously inexperienced technological tools. These digital platforms have changed people's perception of the teaching / learning of foreign languages and cultures.This article evaluated the preparation and the perception towards the e-learning and the impact of the latter on teachers and learners of French as a foreign language, while using two questionnaires.15teachers and 60students answered the questionnaires. The results showed that 15% of teachers and 70% of learners have the computer skills required for the use and the integration of digital tools during lessons. 25% of teachers and 71% of learners rated the transition from traditional lessons to digital lessons as easy. Most of the participants (70% of teachers and 85% of students) felt that online teaching / learning allowed more flexibility despite the fact that these respondents preferred classical education in the classroom.A minority of students said that switching to e-learning due to health conditions made them feel lonely (11.77%), anxious (7.31%) and depressed (10.25%).Giventhe possibility to choose, it was realized that participants would prefer a blended teaching / learning, where some teaching activities are switched to online platforms.
