Summary/Abstract: The pandemic has brought about a radical change in the educational situation at all levels, to which both teachers and students have had to adapt abruptly. The emotional burden of this situation has been added to all the material and communicative difficulties that have resulted from the states of alarm occurred in all countries worldwide. Thus, the affective factors that are normally involved in the teaching / learning process, which the CEFRL considers under “existential competence”, have been particularly evident in this difficult period in which fear, uncertainty and isolation have been present in all the activities. In this context, the change from face-to-face teaching to blended learning has had a negative influence on the motivation not only of the students but also of the teaching staff. In this article we present the experience in teaching of French as a foreign language of a year in which classroom communication between teacher and student was suddenly and unexpectedly disrupted.
