Résumé

During the Covid 19 pandemic that took place in the spring of 2020, teachers were compelled to ensure pedagogical continuity by reinventing their teaching outside the classroom. As a result, resorting to digital tools became inevitable. This research evaluates, through a survey addressed to 847 teachers of foreign or regional modern languages working in French schools, whether the level of teaching has an effect on the anxiety these teachers felt, on their sense of self-efficacy, as well as on their perceptions and uses of technological tools in a context of confinement.

Abstract
