Sažetak
Language is an abstract system of signs manifested through the language activities of listening, speaking, reading and writing. Encouraging development of all four language skills is one of the goals of Croatian language (mother tongue) classes at the Faculty of Teacher Education. Since the coronavirus pandemic has affected two school and academic years and caused the transition to online classes at faculties, teachers are facing the challenge of transferring knowledge to students and motivating them to actively take part in developing language skills in a virtual environment, especially the skills of active listening and speaking. Communication with students is made possible using digital tools, but they are less adequate for assessment and monitoring students’ progress. Therefore, a study was conducted via online questionnaire on students’ satisfaction with online classes, comparing online and physical classes, students’ media consumption, reading habits and their use of free time. The results showed that the students were satisfied with online classes, but they preferred face-to-face classes, and they thought that online classes should be more creative and more interactive.
