Summary/Abstract: E-learning has been around for quite some time, but it has never been as important or as widespread as it is these days. After the initial switch to online education in March 2020, the changes to both teaching and learning are about to become more permanent than expected. This paper aims to discuss the implications for the academic world of the new online reality in light of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, focusing on how it affects communication in general and the teaching of Business English in particular. It is based on my personal experience at the oldest university in Romania and will highlight my thoughts on what the near future might look like in terms of the online education process.
