The shifting from face-to-face interaction in a formal classroom to digital learning outside the classroom in the recent education system has made a great change in our learning habit. As the online learning mode has become more prevalent in around the world including Nigeria due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is particularly crucial to re-examine students’ opinions and preferences about the teaching modes. Now, a crucial question that may exist is will schools and universities keep at online learning in post COVID-19 pandemic recovery? In responding to the question, the present study scrutinizes Nigerian university students’ standpoints either to prefer online or face-to-face learning activities at the time after the global pandemic recovers. A survey design is adopted by using an online questionnaire distributed to 153 students of several departments at a university in Nigeria. The results depict that 51% of the students are in favor of studying in an online learning mode. However, it is further found that only 19% of the students prefer to have a full online learning activity after the pandemic ends. Moreover, this study reveals that the majority of the students (69%) are supporting hybrid learning system which is the combination between online and offline learning activities. The rest (12%) agree with face-to-face learning activities in classrooms. These results contribute to offering fruitful insights and policy recommendation for Nigerian Ministry of Education to design specific rules and guidelines in which schools and universities are desired to offer blended learning activities for students in post pandemic recovery.

This study identified the students’ perceptions in English for Academic and Professional Purposes. This study employed the descriptive research design to describe the perceptions of the respondents in the different competencies of the course on English for Academic and Professional Purposes.

At the start of the year, the world was thrown into disarray by a pandemic. The first months of 2020 the COVID-19 or Corona Virus, which originally appeared in China last December 2019, quickly traveled to the Philippines. Locally it had its first case on March 7, 2020. While learning must continue throughout the epidemic, a mindset shift is required for an effective distant learning experience. Lecturers are gradually adapting to remote instruction, some aspects of teaching and learning cannot be recreated at home. This qualitative- descriptive research focused on thoughts and experiences of 16 teachers as they try to reorder and reorganize themselves in the academe. Constrained by the pandemic, responses were collected using the google form and themed accordingly. It used the Thematic Analysis of Braun and Clarke (2006) as a method in analysing the data. The teachers revealed empowerment, trustworthiness of officials, negation, readiness, hopefulness, time management, elusiveness, flexibility, and security shaped them in several aspects amidst this pandemic while realizing the importance of serving students with quality. Administrators, government officials, and others must evaluate how schools might recover faster, with a transformed sense of duty, a deeper knowledge and firmness of the need to bridge the gap in opportunities and ensuring that all kids have equal possibilities for a quality education. The call to exceptional service is a lifetime goal for them, and as academic frontliners with the ability to respond to pandemic issues, they must also ensure optimum safety.
