Virtual education: learning a foreign language.

Abstract

Virtual learning is a modality that since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic has had a greater number of students, and of course, also teachers. This research is a quantitative study that describes how often foreign language students in the online mode find advantages and disadvantages in their educational process. A survey with a Likert-type frequency scale was designed to collect data from a group of students of various foreign languages who took their classes virtually, finding as a result that the advantages were greater than the disadvantages in language learning, but still, they prefer the face-to-face modality instead of virtual classes.
