Mean values were used to illustrate the results of the questionnaire items and interview responses were scrutinized to extract the constituent themes. Results: The results revealed that the medical sciences EAP instructors held positive attitudes towards the use of technology in their classes. Indeed, the mean values ranged from 3.16 to 4.79, which indicated the instructors’ positive inclination towards implementing CALL in EAP classes.They also pointed to the existing barriers to the successful implementation of CALL and the challenges they encounter in online classes during the COVID-19 pandemic period.
