摘要
The following paper is a qualitative research case study that intended to identify the perceptions of future English teachers about WhatsApp as an educational resource for teaching the English language in two public schools in Pereira, Colombia during Covid-19 pandemic. The data was gathered through virtual questionnaires to know the insights and experiences during the implementation of WhatsApp to guide an English course. The findings reveal that WhatsApp (WA) offered pre-service teachers the possibility for interaction, access to content and materials, and promotion of learners' autonomy. Furthermore, findings show some downsides related to connectivity, technological concerns and diverse limitations mainly experienced during the Covid-19 pandemic.
