Abstract

Focusing on English Studies in South Africa, this article considers adaptations to university teaching in a time of Covid-19 and the potential and limitations of such adaptations post Covid-19. The argument is divided into sections, “English Studies, Yesterday and Today” and “English Studies, Today and Tomorrow”, together with a coda, “English, the Language of the Modern World”. An African folktale, “Elephant, Chameleon, and Lizard”, offers a metaphor of before, in, and beyond Covid-19.
