    abstract = {The outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic which
has resulted in the shutting down of schools globally has
made a virtual classroom urgently imperative to support
the physical classroom. This move cannot be realistic if
the awareness and proficiency of the stakeholders are not
guaranteed. Hence, this study examined the awareness
and proficiency of English language lecturers in the use of
emerging technologies in Post-COVID-19 era as well as
the availability of the emerging technologies. The study
adopted a survey research design. Two research questions
and purposes of the study and four hypotheses were
formulated to guide the study. The population of the study
comprised all English language lecturers in University of
Nigeria, Nsukka and its affiliate: Alvan Ikoku Federal
College of Education, Owerri. A 37-item structured
questionnaire was used for data collection. The data
collected were analyzed using mean, standard deviation,
t-test. The study found among others, that there is a
significant difference between male and female English
language lecturer’s proficiency level in the use of
emerging technologies for teaching in Post-COVID-19
era. The study is a significant contribution to other studies
on the use of emerging technologies with respect to
gender and age.}
