This was a quantitative study where the researcher adapted a questionnaire from Nambiar (2020) to investigate the perspectives of KSU English language teachers towards online teaching at a college level. Findings show significant percentages of teachers who stated that online teaching improved their skills and boosted their confidence, at 40% and 34%. Also, most teachers found online classes convenient, innovative and improve their teaching skills. However, 14% of the teachers argued that technical issues affected learning. Moreover, most of the teachers claimed that the students lacked interest, made excuses and did not take online classes seriously. It was also noticeable that the implementation of online learning was very well valued because it helped the teachers develop their personal teaching skills. On the other hand, their students’ lack of interest was what most of the teachers agreed on.
