Teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic became a new and formidable challenge that has made us teachers rewrite the syllabus for the 2020-2021 school year a thousand times. Most educators were forced to transform and adapt their lessons to suit a virtual classroom, a task for which they were not prepared; and even though they have given the best of themselves, it sadly seemed that there were always new problems piling up.

Considering this abrupt change, we decided to face this challenge and commit ourselves to helping teachers worldwide. To this end, on May 2020 we created a handbook that contains activities to be used in the online classrooms. This handbook is primarily addressed to middle and high school language teachers, pre-service teachers, and university professors in charge of language teacher education programs. It is written in plain language to address a variety of audiences interested in integrating technology-based listening into their lessons or including listening activities/lessons into their remote teaching.
