Sumario: Since the COVID-19 started, the education field has been forced to adapt to the new reality to continue with the learning process of students. However, this virtual process took a lot of effort and patience from all the parts involved. Teachers had to find new ways to teach their students, to catch their attention and to make the learning process possible. Using different tools such as the communicative language teaching approach, the development of 21st century skills, and the technological tools can improve the language learning process. By applying these aspects in the class, students can improve not only in their language micro and macro skills but also to prepare for what the future holds for them. After seeing the results, a year later in this virtual experience, it is clear that the COVID-19 changed the education field, and it is not going back to how it was.
