Distance education is a well-known type of education, which is conducted when
students do not have the chance or time to attend school physically. With the Covid
19 pandemic, distance education has come to the fore under the name of emergency
remote education. This study’s ultimate purpose is to explore the experienced
emergency English language remote education process and compare the private
and state universities from the perspectives of tertiary instructors. To take a
photograph of the novel emergency remote education, the opinions of one hundred
and thirty-four English language instructors who have been working for English
preparatory programs at universities’ schools of foreign languages were asked. To
collect the data, instructors were given a questionnaire. After the data collection,
items were divided into 5 groups such as online education, instructors’ adaptation
to online education, university support, learners, and instructors’ online course.
Then each question was examined through SPSS. The means were found to see the
highest value each item had. Also, the answers of both university instructors were
compared using chi- square and the items which show a statistically significant
difference were presented in the study. As a result, it was found that both
university instructors have similar ideas about the emergency remote teaching
during the Covid- 19.
