Abstract
Abstract - This paper reviews literature about the students’ perceptions of e-learning for EFL in Saudi universities at this Coronavirus time. As such, this study reported on four primary studies that were found relevant to its focus during the period from January 2020 to April 2020 (Abu-Ayfah, 2020; Ahmad, 2020; Alshehri& Cumming, 2020; Hakami, 2020). As a historical perspective of the review’s focus, it also reported on other four primary studies dating back to 2018 and 2019 (Alshehri, Rutter & Smith, 2019; Mutambik, 2018; Oyaid&Alshaya, 2019; Sharma, 2019). The review’s objectives were to report: 1) students’ perceptions of e-learning for ESL/EFL, 2) benefits of e-learning for ESL/EFL, and 3) drawbacks of e-learning for ESL/EFL in Saudi universities. Moreover, this review was compared to a conference paper from China (He, 2020) as it presented a strategy to continue college English learning and teaching at Coronavirus time. Results showed students’ positive views, many benefits and limited drawbacks of e-learning for ESL/EFL in Saudi universities.
