The Corona pandemic in 2020 and the resulting school closures brought new challenges for those involved in the teaching and learning processes. Without any advance warning or preparation, (not only) teachers of GFL had to respond and ensure that, under these specific conditions, the teaching and learning goals could still be pursued and achieved. At the same time, students were also placed in an entirely new, unfamiliar learning reality. This situation resulted in a research project (No. UJEP-SGS-2021-63-001-3) that aims to reflect this specific school reality from the perspective of teachers of GFL on the one hand, and students on the other. This paper presents and discusses the project's selected findings, with special focus on the students' perspective, i.e. how Czech students experienced learning GFL in the online environment during the Corona pandemic.
