Description
Distance learning is a complex process of teaching and learning, which massively began to be used during the global pandemic COVID-19 throughout the world, which since March has become indispensable in Kosovo as well. These online classes created a situation that was not stable for the education system in Kosovo and showed major educational challenges but also some benefits that teachers had from this experience.
The purpose of this research is to look in more detail at the challenges and opportunities of distance learning from the perspective of teachers. From a questionnaire distributed to 52 English teachers, data were extracted on the challenges and benefits of distance learning. The final analysis shows that despite the challenges, teachers were satisfied with the distance learning process and address the variety of technological tools, as well as the opportunity to try new teaching methods as main benefits. Meanwhile, the participants see the lack of students' access to technology that prevents them from developing their lessons properly as the major challenge during distance learning in COVID-19.

Distance learning is a complex process of teaching and learning, which massively began to be used during the global pandemic COVID-19 throughout the world, which since March has become indispensable in Kosovo as well.

The purpose of this research is to look in more detail at the challenges and opportunities of distance learning from the perspective of teachers. From a questionnaire distributed to 52 English teachers, data were extracted on the challenges and benefits of distance learning.
