Abstract
As a result of the wide spread of technology in our modern days, educationalists are forced to integrate technological equipment and programs through educational strategies and methods, for the main purpose of facilitating the learning experience. Accordingly, the main purpose of this study is investigating the impact of a zoom session as a synchronous learning strategy on enhancing the engagement, success and motivation of Lebanese University students in Bekaa. For that purpose, the researcher chose an experimental design with a mixed approach to conduct this study using a pretest, and a post test to measure the change in the levels of EFL students, and a student questionnaire to examine the attitude of the students towards the zoom sessions. The findings indicate that zoom sessions enhanced EFL students’ English language level and motivation towards the learning process.
