Abstract

The present pandemic has determined the teachers to adopt new methods of on-line teaching and learning and the specific activities within the classes of foreign languages for special purposes, technical and scientific domain are part of these new orientations. Thus, the teachers adapted their materials to the on-line tendency by digitalizing their various courses. The present article focuses on several activities used within certain on-line apps dedicated to teaching foreign languages for specific purposes. In the first part we will make suggestions for the on-line didactic use of a video clip with EdPuzzle and VideoAnt. Next, we will present certain apps available for oral presentations during foreign language classes and we will demonstrate how to use LearningApps for the making ofself-corrective exercises and on-line games. Finally, we will focus on Jamboard from Google as virtual board during the classes of foreign languages for specific purposes, technical and scientific domain.
