The COVID-19 emergency situation affected not only human health but all aspects of life including the educational process. It required students to take their classes online, and it appears like distance online education will be a significant educational aspect going forward. This research provides insight on students' and teachers' perspectives on distance computer-assisted language learning (CALL) online and off-campus teaching after COVID -19 pandemic. Twenty English teachers from Assulayil province and sixteen students from Tamrah secondary school took part in the research. For the teachers 41-items quantitative questionnaire and the students’ 20-items quantitative questionnaire, both were designed using a five-point Likert scale and the data were analyzed using IBM (SPSS) program. The results showed that both teachers and students have positive attitudes toward distance learning and instructing. Teachers mostly agreed on the importance of integrating technology in teaching, they were satisfied towards the online assessment and students' engagement in the online classes. However, results were not conclusive for students’ preferences regarding mode of communication. A considerable number of students feel confident in their engagement in the English online classes, but they felt intimidated by being unable to interact using the ministry's LMS (Madrasati & Microsoft Teams), besides some obstacles regarding the number of assignments, timing and internet connection issues. This suggests that a greater emphasis should be put on the development of digital communication skills to prepare our students for the new interaction reality besides the students and teachers training for adopting the online learning, teaching and assessment methods even after the schools reopening.
