| Popis: | This paper illustrates some teachers��� perspectives, beliefs and experiences as to distance learning before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. The comparative analysis of the responses to a specifically designed online survey administered to a hundred primary-school EFL teachers in some regions of Italy, Romania, and Spain in May/July 2020, aimed to examine the brunt of the pandemic on teachers in those severely affected areas. Results suggest that educators were somehow prepared to face distance learning in terms of resources and materials. During the lockdown they used synchronic video-conferencing tools and online games more extensively; though they struggled to monitor children���s progress and to uphold their motivation throughout the school closures, they seem ready to embed those instruments and strategies in future blended teaching. However, educators admit to lack training in how to implement FL online teaching and are concerned about its efficacy with young learners.
