With the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, online learning is a new, and therefore, challenging experience for most university students in Turkey. Determining whether these students are ready for or satisfied with distance learning practices is essential for higher education stakeholders to design and implement these practices efficiently. This quantitative study investigated EFL learners' readiness for and satisfaction with web-based English courses in Turkey during the COVID-19 pandemic. It further aimed to examine the role of e-learning readiness on e-learning satisfaction. Data was collected through questionnaires from 169 EFL students taking online English courses at the A1 level in an intensive English program at a state university in Turkey during the COVID-19 pandemic. Findings revealed that the study sample had an above-average level of readiness for and satisfaction with the English courses they took in virtual environments. Furthermore, e-learning readiness was found to be associated with e-learning satisfaction, and readiness successfully predicted satisfaction. Important implications for school leaders and instructors were suggested based on the findings.
