Abstract

As Internet applications and online communication become more and more popular, language teaching faces new challenges and needs. Using electronic forms of communication, our students are often able to deal with everyday problems in an efficient way, even though their language skills may not be up to the standards drawn in the CERF. Meanwhile, the lexical and grammar contents of teaching curricula and language textbooks do not always respond to the emerging needs of online communication. The purpose of this paper is to reflect on the impact of the growing interest in Internet solutions on PFL teaching practice, with reference to language level standards, teaching curricula, exam standards and textbook content, as well as student motivation level. All of these issues seem particularly important in times of pandemic, when online communication has become a necessity rather than an option.
