EFL Distance Learners’ Perceptions of Attitudes, Ease of use, and Interaction as Determinants of Satisfaction

The aim of this study is to explore English foreign language (EFL) students’ perceptions of distance learning in the aftermath of Corona pandemic lockdown. Specifically, it investigates students’ attitudes, perceived ease of use, online course flexibility and interaction as determinants of learning satisfaction based on their own distance learning experiences within the Moroccan educational context. An online questionnaire was administered to 147 undergraduate EFL learners from three different higher education institutions: the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, and Higher School of Education and Training in Béni mellal, and the École Normale Supérieure (ENS) in Rabat. The research findings indicate that the main factors influencing students’ online learning satisfaction are their attitudes towards online learning, online course flexibility, and student-teacher interaction. The results have implications for promoting distance learning among students.
