The present paper aims to analyse the discursive construction students of COVID-19 (era), which
has been broadly used as a label to refer to all the students, who were shifted to online education
due to the COVID-19 pandemic situation. Following the critical discourse analysis theoretical
approach, we examine the discursive planes that have built and reinforced this discursive
construction. The paper focuses on three main areas that have reinforced this discourse
construction: the science (s) plan, (online) media plan, and everyday life plan. The scientific
discourse on education has emphasized the detrimental effects the pandemic has had, and is
expected to have on learners. Moreover, traditional, online, and social media have continuously
pointed to the negative impact of the pandemic on the academic performance of students.
Especially social media has been using a very powerful tool to convey this kind of discursive
stance, i.e., memes. The everyday life plane has also played a role in the discursive construction of
students of COVID-19 era by bringing up and building upon the real-life experiences of the
learning loss that students have been facing. The paper analyses representative discursive
fragments from all the above-mentioned discourse planes, to shed light on the discursive
construction “students of COVID-19”, as a pathologizing label used for a whole generation of
learners affected by COVID-19 pandemic.
