Sažetak
Emergency remote education (ERE) during the COVID- 19 pandemic placed unexpected challenges before foreign language teachers and shifted focus on their competences to teach using digital tools. To gain insight into the ways in which primary school English and German foreign language teachers answered to the mentioned challenges, their teaching practice and experiences in ERE during the 2020 lock-down period was investigated. In addition, their self- assessment of their competence to apply digital technology in teaching was examined. The results show that the participants, although they mostly estimate their competence for teaching using digital technologies to be at the intermediate level, most frequently mediated teaching content by giving instructions written in Word and by using videos on YouTube. Likewise, although there are indications that teachers are familiar with digital teaching tools, the results show a lack of their didactic-teaching knowledge and skills for applying the mentioned tools in teaching. These findings point to the need for greater presence of the issue of teaching using digital technologies in foreign language teaching methodology courses.
