Abstract
The Covid-19 virus epidemic has highlighted the need to discover different methods as well as assess the success of distance learning. Teachers and students around the world have faced perhaps the greatest challenge so far, adapting to the available platforms in a short time and equally embracing both the advantages and disadvantages of virtual teaching. This epidemic has actually widened the gap between those who can access digital learning opportunities and those who are excluded because not everyone has adapted to the situation equally successfully. We must also emphasize that a good online learning experience is not necessarily related to the technology we choose, but to the way teachers and students dedicate themselves to that form of teaching and learning, especially when it comes to learning a foreign language. In this paper, a research was conducted on a sample of 120 full-time and part-time students of the 2nd year of the Mechanical Engineering Department at the Zagreb University of Applied Sciences, in April and May 2020. The objectives of the research are to show the degree of satisfaction or dissatisfaction of the students at the Zagreb University of Applied Sciences as well as to determine the degree of difficulty in mastering a foreign language by online teaching. The research was conducted with a survey questionnaire on the basis of which the calculation of relative frequencies will determine the stated goals.
