dc.description.abstractThe covid-19 pandemic has caused a dramatic transformation in education systems in which face-to-face education was canceled to protect public health in many countries. Homes of the learners turned into classrooms and families have found themselves in the middle of formal education more than ever before. This study aimed to examine the effect of family size on English as a Foreign Language (EFL) communication apprehension (CA) during online foreign language courses. 223 learners of EFL participated in the quantitative part while 37 learners were interviewed for the qualitative procedures. The initial quantitative results indicated a low to moderate oral participation rate in the online EFL courses. The further quantitative findings showed that the number of members in a family predicted CA in online language courses. In the second part of the study, the qualitative results revealed that younger members of the family interrupted the online courses most. Other distractors related to family life were external noises (i.e. guests, street noise) and domestic responsibilities (i.e. cooking, cleaning, working). Parents and elder members of the family were found to have a minimal effect on CA during online courses. The results were discussed in terms of remote education, family, and CA along with pedagogical implications.en_US
