ENHANCED USE OF ICT DURING AND POST PANDEMIC IN FOREIGN-LANGUAGE CLASSROOMS

The pandemic of Covid-19 brought about a paradigm shift in teaching-learning processes. Pedagogical
practices were largely dependent on ICT-tools. In the Indian context, where studies have shown the retarded
transition of education towards the use of ICT, how did the Indian teachers adapt to the new modalities of
teaching? This article studies the impact of the pandemic on the integration of ICT-tools in French language
classrooms. Interviews with French teachers reveal a broadening of teachers’ perspective, leading to the
enhanced use of ICT in the language classrooms, not only during but also after the pandemic.
