The purpose of this study is to explore the experiences and perceptions of native English-speaking instructors with regard to non-face-to-face classes in the post-COVID-19 era. To achieve the research objectives, an online survey was conducted on 8 native English-speaking instructors. Teaching tools and class types were analyzed by a quantitative method of measuring the frequency, and the contents of the open questionnaire were analyzed by a qualitative research method. The results showed that instructors utilized various tools with recorded lectures in the first semester of 2020, when non-face-to-face classes started due to COVID-19, while real-time classes using ZOOM increased in the first semester of 2021. Native English-speaking instructors mentioned repeated learning and increased communication opportunities as strengths of non-face-to-face classes, but recognized the limitation to meaningful interactions with learners. Instructors regarded it hard to make teaching plans in unpredictable situations and difficult to use the school’s LMS. Despite these difficulties, native English-speaking instructors have recognized that they are improving by adapting to the new education environment. This study suggests further research on the online classes of native English-speaking instructors in the post-COVID-19 era.
