Abstract: It has been a year since the Indian education system has seen a major shift due to the ongoing pandemic. Teachers are trying to learn and adjust themselves with the technology. Old ways and methods of teaching now require changes or a new touch. Even after having many years of teaching experience teachers are facing difficulty in adjusting to the present e-learning trends. This paper aims to understand how much are the English language teachers aware of the e-learning tools available and to suggest some e-learning tools to make online English language teaching effective. To collect data for this research a survey was conducted using an online questionnaire. Responses of English language teachers from all over India were received. Through responses of sixty-two teachers, it is concluded that the teachers are trying hard to make their online classes effective but they are not well informed of the e-learning tools. Many teachers complain that due to online mode of education, students have taken back seat and it has become extremely difficult to engage them. Hence it has become extremely important to find new ways to make online classes interesting and constructive. New problems need new solutions and smart students need smart teachers.
