“…Al-Abdali & Alzayadi (2020) and Al-Dulaimi & Al-Abdali (2021) explaine that this era is the era of technology, as it is not possible to imagine learning and teaching the English language without relying on modern technologies in teaching. Not far from other studies, Bataineh and Al-Abdali (2014), Bataineh and Al-Abdali (2015), and Elttayef (2016) conclude that the use of webcam chatting, as one of the elements of technology, is very effective for developing the linguistic competence as well as for developing the socio-…”

This paper aims to show the importance of using technology in Iraqi EFL classrooms to enhance and support education in Iraq especially after the spread of Covid-19all over the world. Iraqi EFL learners suffer from the old method of teaching which depends heavily on following the Grammar Translation Method, the Audio-Lingual Method and recently, the Communicative Approach. Iraq did not attempt to involve e-learning as a tool of learning. Currently, when the world became as a small country especially with the rapid development of technology around the world, it became a necessity to use technology in Iraqi classrooms. Technology has provided a means of escape from all the tradition teaching and learning based on the textbook. Different types of technology provide learners with a vast number of opportunities to develop their English which are not found in the traditional learning. Bataineh and Al-Abdali (2015) stated that "Technology has changed the teachers' and learners' roles, teaching changed from "teacher-centered into student-centered" (P. 243). This paper tries to show teaching and learning English language in the era of E-learning in Iraqi education.

Using webcams in virtual classes is considered as one of the most effective ways to build a sense of community and the quality of teaching and learning English through online lessons. However, whether to require learners to keep the webcams on for online learning has still been a controversial issue among teachers, learners, and administrators due to several problems. In the hope of providing a realistic view from engineering students in turning on webcams in online English lessons in higher education, this study was conducted to investigate engineering students’ perceptions of using webcams in their online English lessons. A 30-item questionnaire and in-depth structured interview were designed to collect the data from 166 engineering students. The findings reveal that both students’ and teachers’ webcams were expected to be on only when necessary. In online English lessons, most students often turned on the webcams when required by teachers. Despite facilitating interaction and understanding between teachers and students, creating a feeling of closeness, and satisfying students’ desires to see their teachers’ faces, it is essential to consider the subject’s distinctive features, students’ worries about the device's slow speed, and concerns about distracting other students when requiring both students and teachers to turn their cameras on during online English lessons.
