ABSTRACT

The implementation of teaching English online parallel to its on-campus courses has become a necessity more than a supplement. After the spread of the Corona virus, Covid-19, online teaching has become the only alternative to maintain a proper education in Jordan, especially at the German Jordanian University (GJU). The pandemic, despite its negativity, has opened doors to innovative ways in education and encouraged everyone to continue with online education. With the positive impact of online teaching for higher education, this paper concentrates on the need to continue online teaching as parallel to classroom teaching after the end of the pandemic since its advantages have proven it to be effective and beneficial. The study uses a survey approach administered to GJU undergraduate students, who have taken English lectures online during the pandemic. The variables are reliable with Cronbach alpha α = 0.736, proving that students are interested and do need to take English courses online as a parallel form but not as a substitute. The results show that students are in favor of the parallel leaning for the multiple benefits it offers. E-learning is the new gateway for GJU to adopt the parallel stream in higher education, and can be used due to its advantage.
