The aim of this article is to present teaching solutions that have been used in language classes conducted remotely. The article considers the extent to which the teaching solutions allowed students to better assimilate the content discussed in class. Research conducted in 2019/2020 and 2020/2021 at the Department of French Philology, University of Warsaw, revealed that a French for Diplomats course conducted remotely was better evaluated by students than the same course held onsite. The analysis of the data confirmed the research assumption that the shift from face-to-face to digital teaching gave lecturers new tools for their work and prompted them to reach for practices that were less commonly used before, which contributed to the enrichment of the teaching process. The abandonment of the classroom in the stationary mode has prompted teachers to seek and develop original solutions that go beyond the previous formal limitations. It seems that the effectiveness of some of the methods used during the pandemic will be adopted permanently and form part of the discussion on the development of remote language education.
