Rezumat

Although technology had pervaded language teaching and learning long ago (the recorded tapes of the Audio-lingual method spring to mind here as a relevant example), the heavy dependence on communication tools, learning management systems, interactive applications and alike that occurred with the recent, pandemic-driven upset of social and educational life is unprecedented. Just as any other aspect of our lives in 2020, teaching and learning of languages at university in the traditional face-to-face mode were suspended and moved to an online environment, which, for better or worse, replaced well established methodological practices with, at times, experimental pedagogies, in an attempt to better adapt the process to the new online context, mode and consequent expectations of stakeholders – learners, teachers and educational management. The present paper investigates the process of transferring language classes at tertiary level to the online environment, as a consequence of the recent Covid19 pandemic. The approach is analytical, with emphasis on recording and highlighting main milestones, such as the jump from emergency education to a quasi-permanent state of affairs in 2021, when, at least to this moment, there is little hope language education at university will resume its place in the physical classroom any time soon. The purpose is to review particular aspects of language education in this transitional process, such as the need for curricular overhaul and its impact in the long run over how languages will be taught to students during lockdown periods or face-to-face interaction period
