    (Université Mouloud Mammeri Tizi Ouzou, 2023) Chabane Yasmine; Bourai Hanane
    The current study aims to investigate the COVID-19 pandemic period's impact on the EFL students' academic achievement at MMUTO. Firstly, it investigates the impact of COVID-19 on students' achievement. Secondly, it seeks to identify the main causes of the students' low or poor academic achievement. Thirdly, it aims to find out the appropriate strategies that educational institutions should use to improve the students' academic achievement, especially in the post-COVID period. In order to carry out our study, we have relied on Abraham Harold Maslow's Pyramid of Needs (1954) as a theory applied to our research work. We have investigated how far it can be applied to the objectives of our research. The method we used is a mixed one: the quantitative research method combined with the quantitative one. The tools used to gather data are: a questionnaire which was submitted to 34 EFL students and an interview conducted with EFL teachers in the Department of English at MMUTO. The findings of this study have revealed that difficulties to have access to internet is one of the causes of students' low academic achievement. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic period impacted negatively the students' academic achievement. Suggestions and recommendations like working in groups and studying more outside the university were proposed by the participants in order to reduce the negative effects of the COVID-19.
