This research report gives voice to 1102 language professionals across 49 countries around the world and explores their teaching experiences at the height of Covid-19. Following a mixed-methods approach, it sheds light on their perceptions, challenges and opportunities as language instruction shifted online, and discusses what can be learned in light of this. As the educational community recovers from the pandemic, this study can assist teachers, trainers, managers and policy makers in developing more robust pedagogical approaches to online and blended language education; not only as an emergency response but also as a way of re-thinking language teaching, learning, and assessment.
