Abstract

In times of crisis, it is paramount that higher education institutions build a community of shared values to keep the leverage in their hands. Ever since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, the rapid adoption of the proper technologies worldwide has become a sine qua non for online education. Professors (the organizers of classes and meetings) and their students (the guests) have embraced connectedness and change in a sustainable manner. The paper highlights the benefits of using innovative ubiquitous tools for online learning, discusses the challenges faced by language professors during the pandemic and evaluates roughly, how close or how far we are from implementing a unitary and effective system of online language education in Romania. In addition, it places empathy & sympathy at the core of online teaching and presents strategies that hone professors’ virtual teaching skills to facilitate the linguistic development in undergraduate students.
