This qualitative descriptive study aimed to describe the English teachers’ experiences in online English language teaching during Covid-19 pandemic. Data was collected by interviewing eight EFL teachers from seven Ecuadorian educational institutions: four public and three private institutions during the 2020-2021 school year. Main findings show that teachers used Microsoft Teams, WhatsApp, Google Classroom, and Zoom for virtual classes. They also used Microsoft PowerPoint and Prezi to create teaching material and Google Forms for online assessment. In addition, several teaching strategies were applied: songs, games, videos, grapho-plastic activities, and games. The study also found that teachers faced some challenges: difficulty in accessing technology, connectivity issues, lack of preparation, scant English teaching hours, limited teacher-student interaction, and non-parental support.
