Abstract

The main objective of this article is to share the experience of creation of A1 and A2 MOOC courses in French as a foreign language (FLE) for the community of the University Santo Tomas. This process started in 2020 as an answer to the teaching difficulties issued from the COVID-19 pandemic context, wanting to ease the access to the language courses offered by the Language Institute in a national level. This reflection includes a description of the creation and implementation process of the courses, of the results obtained so far, and of the difficulties faced along their development. It also includes the details to be improved in the model, hoping to provide an example for other teachers who would like to implement it and, maybe, replicate it in their own contexts.
