    "The current scenery that EFL students are facing due to the COVID-19 pandemic took many students from face-to-face classes to online ones. Therefore, the aim of this study is to explore into the EFL students´ attitudes towards taking classes through Microsoft Teams and how these attitudes impact their language performance. The methodology follows a quantitative approach using the descriptive method employing a survey containing 16 positive and negative items using a Likert-scale and 1 open-ended questions designed in a web-based tool called Google Forms shared via online which was the mean for the data collection procedure. The study's results shows that Although most of the respondents´ position is neutral towards positive attitudes using Microsoft Teams, they do not have negative attitudes towards the application. Moreover, participants found it easy and they feel comfortable using Microsoft Teams where they have seen improvements in their language performance in aspects such as: pronunciation, speaking, written production, among others. Also, there were some drawbacks like: internet issues, teachers and students lack of experience using the app, and distractors in their current physical environment where students take online classes that may affect students' language performance".
