N2  - The COVID-19 pandemic is an infectious disease that has caused a health, economic and educational crisis throughout the world. In this sense, COVID-19 has become a great challenge for educators, especially for teachers of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) who have been forced to seek innovative strategies to carry out teaching practice and as a result they have developed skills in the use of technology to teach English in virtual environments. However, the vaccination program against COVID-19 has made it possible to gradually control the pandemic and return to face-to-face English classes. Therefore, the present study aims to determine the perceptions of English teachers from public educational institutions about the transition from virtual to face-to-face English classes in the post-pandemic 2022 era, in order to provide suggestions that encourage combining the skills developed by English teachers during the pandemic with traditional EFL English teaching methods in hybrid classes. Thus, this study arose from the need to analyze the opinion of English teachers in the public sector regarding English classes in the post-pandemic era, since beyond the academic part, the human side of the teachers must be taken into account. English teachers. Therefore, three educational institutions in the province of Cotopaxi have been taken as a sample, such as the Technical University of Cotopaxi - Pujilí Extension, the ´Juan Abel Echeverria´ Educational Unit and the ´Marco Aurelio Subía Martínez - Battle of Panupali´ Educational Unit. to develop this study. For the collection and description of data, the qualitative approach with a descriptive character oriented to the exploratory method was used. Likewise, a semi-structured interview of twelve questions was applied to seven participants from basic, secondary and higher education who have been selected through an intentional sampling technique, and a thematic analysis method was used to analyze the collected data. The main results have shown that the participants agree that it is possible to combine the strategies used in virtual education with the teaching methods of face-to-face English classes and thus improve the educational process, for which it would be important to have with the support of the Ministry of Education of Ecuador. For this reason, it was possible to conclude that it is considered fundamental to take advantage of the skills in the use of technology of English teachers and combine them with traditional teaching methods to achieve a quality hybrid education in EFL English teaching that would help to energize the classes, facilitate the teacher´s work and thus promote a taste for the English language, avoiding monotonous and boring classes
