Hybrid teaching is a complex approach of teaching and learning, which is a combination of both face-to-face and virtual classes held simultaneously. This approach began to be used massively during the global pandemic Covid-19 throughout the world, which since March has become indispensable in Kosovo as well. More focus was of course given to virtual classes, as people were not allowed to go out due to Covid-19 restrictions. These distance classes created a situation that was not stable for the education system in Kosovo and demonstrated major educational challenges for lecturers and students. The purpose of this paper is to analyse how higher education lecturers managed the situation with hybrid teaching, how it was perceived by both lecturers and students, and which teaching approach was more preferable by both parties. We have used the qualitative method to retrieve data, and this was done by using a questionnaire as a tool of gathering information. The questionnaires were distributed to a number of 348 English majors, and 40 professors and teaching assistants from three public universities in Kosovo.
