Abstract
This study shows that E-learning as a new method in the EFL contexts has made radical changes in the learning as well as the teaching processes. The world wide web has entered the educational field and become its new pedagogical implementation. As a matter of fact, algerian EFL contexts still far away from using the web-based approach in its educational systems especially at the university level. This research attempts to investigate Algerian EFL teachers' perceptions of using E-learning method besides the face to face classroom. In order to carry out this study three main hypotheses are formulated. The first hypothesis claims that Algerian EFL teachers would show an awareness about online platform in their university, its principles and techniques , while the second demonstrates that they are already using it. The third hypothesis states that Algeria EFL teachers have a positive attitudes towards the position of E-learning platform in their university. In order to examine these three o hypotheses, a questionnaire was administered to teachers. The results gained from the teachers' questionnaire partially confirm the first hypothesis, in the sense that 70%of the teachers showed a consciousness about online platform and stated that they are using it as mean to deliver online courses. While 30% of them appeared far away from applying this method .On the other hand, the third hypothesis is rejected since almost all of the teachers are not satisfied about online learning reality in the algerian context.
