EFL Online Curriculum Development: Problems and Challenges

Abstract

Designing an EFL curriculum poses a variety of problems and challenges that are difficult to encounter, but can be realized with persistence and dedication. This paper gives an account of a humble effort to design an online EFL remedial course jointly carried out by Birzeit University and Al-Quds Open University in the West Bank. The paper attempts to shed light on the problems and challenges faced during the process of designing the course and on ways to encounter them.
