This paper describes the experiences of 15 students who reported on their study habits and studying of Spanish outside of the classroom during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, when suddenly face-to-face classes had to be delivered remotely The paper features the voices of eight teachers on how they promoted out-of-class learning The inquiry took the form of a small-scale qualitative case study with beginner learners of Spanish and Spanish teachers at a language centre The aim was to explore how students studied Spanish independently after their synchronous live classes by making use of some additional resources recommended by their teachers Therefore, this paper attempts to look at how students made use of such resources and if they benefited from them Data for this study were retrieved from an open-ended survey administered to three groups of Spanish students and a focus group interview with eight Spanish teachers The emerging findings of the study suggest that although students engaged with additional materials, much work is needed in this context to raise more awareness and promote more learner engagement and exploration outside of the classroom

本文描述了15名学生的经历，他们报告了COVID-19大流行开始时他们的学习习惯和课堂外西班牙语学习情况，当时突然需要面对面的远程授课。八名教师中他们如何促进课外学习的调查以语言形式的定性案例研究的形式，与语言中心的西班牙语和西班牙语老师的初学者进行了探讨。目的是探讨学生在学习后如何独立学习西班牙语。利用老师推荐的其他资源同步上课，因此，本文试图研究学生如何利用这些资源，以及他们是否从中受益。本研究的数据来自对三组西班牙学生进行的开放式调查以及对八名西班牙老师的专项访谈。的研究表明，尽管学生需要学习其他材料，但在这种情况下仍需要做大量工作才能提高认识并促进学习者在课堂外的参与和探索
