- Abstract
Language learning is process that last long and needs commitment. As people differ in their nature, in the way of living, they also differ in the way of language learning. The Covid 19 caused a dramatic change in the process of education by resulting in schools closures all over the world, leaving students out of the classroom, rising e-learning, undertaking remote learning on digital platforms. Pandemic time was and is still being a process that affected our life, making us getting used to it and obeying the rules. The most important thing is the ability to not stop learning/teaching process. Even though remote learning is not easy for most of us: teachers, students and parents who have to help their children using their best practices and experience in using electronic devices, it proved to be successful. There is an evidence that language learners who frequently watch TV, movies and listen to music in their free time tend to be better at reading, listening and vocabulary, but what about pronunciation? Is this true with the Pandemic online classes? Based on my own experience both teachers and students kill their time focusing attention on something productive, schedule lessons at times that is convenient for them and feel more relaxed to talk as they have no one in next to them, spend no time and money on travelling, clothes, make up and food. Learning and eating at the same time relaxed at home is a good feeling but what is the result? The purpose of this study is to figure out the current situation of online language learning and teaching in Pandemic, and also to explore teachers' and students' perception about online foreign language classrooms (FLC) verses school teaching/learning. The paper implements a case study done with the students and teachers of University Fehmi Agani in Gjakova through an interview, a questionnaire and a classroom observation with four teachers and thirty students participating in the study.
