Abstract

This study aimed to better understand teachers’ perceptions of the assessment methods used in full-time e-learning during covid- 19 lockdown in a Saudi EFL context. It intended to investigate four factors: (1) EFL teachers’ perceptions of e-learning assessment, (2) types of online assessment methods used, (3) challenges that teachers face while assessing students online and (4) if there were any significant differences between the perceptions of female and male teachers regarding e-assessment. A total of 26 EFL instructors completed a questionnaire following Likert scale survey method which was distributed online using Google form to avoid any face-to-face Coronavirus infection. Also, interviews utilizing what’s up application were conducted to collect information about challenges of online assessment. The results from the descriptive statistics revealed that EFL teachers expressed a moderate attitude towards e-assessment. Also, most of the statements related to teachers’ perceptions of techniques /methods used in online assessment were positive. However, most items related to teachers’ perceptions of challenges encountered in online assessments, scored high/very high means which indicated that teachers faced serious challenges in assessing students online. Moreover, the study revealed that there was no significant difference between the perceptions of male and female teachers regarding the four factors investigated.
