In this work the research team describes how the specialization course Management of Virtual Environments for the Teaching and Learning of Foreign Languages was developed. Teaching a foreign language during Covid Pandemic has been a challenge for most of the teachers and educational institutions because teachers had to learn how to include and adapt teaching methodologies, new technologies and educational tools for teaching a foreign language online. As a virtual environment, the research team learned to use Google Classroom in order to publish activities and evaluations on it. The importance of the use of technological tools to develop synchronous and asynchronous class activities has been essential to accomplish our teaching objectives, and in this specialization the participants learned to use different educational tools for creating learning materials. The research team summarizes the different digital materials designed for the teaching and learning of a foreign language in this specialization, which can be really significant for all of the language teachers.
