Abstract: This study aims to reveal the obstacles in using the E-learning from the viewpoint of Arabic language teachers in
the Directorate of Education in Damascus. It also aims to identify the impact of academic specialization and attainment of
the international Computer Driving License (ICDL) on these difficulties. In order to achieve this goal, the researcher followed
the descriptive analytical method, where a questionnaire of 24 items developed after revealing its reliability and validity.
Where this sample was composed of 390 teachers who worked at the Directorate of Education in Damascus. Relevant
statistical tests conducted, where the survey of items discussed established the difficulties faced by Arabic teachers while
using E learning. The majority of difficulties faced by these teachers related to administrative and financial problems,
followed by difficulties of using E- learning itself, whereas the last third part in difficulties is related to schools and learners.
The results of the study show that, there are no statistically significant differences between the difficulties faced by Arabic
teachers while using E- learning for each dimension of the study, and on the dimensions as a whole. The results also show
that there are no statistically significant differences between Arabic language teachers who obtained the (ICDL) and Arabic
language teachers who did not obtain it on the difficulties of using E-learning for each dimension of the study, and the
dimensions as a whole so both are the same. Therefore, in the light of the study results, the researcher presented a number
of suggestions.
