Since significant changes in the development of ICT have taken place in the last 2 decades, we are witnesses that these changes have also influenced the change in the learning and teaching methods. Many studies point to the positive effects of ICT implementation in the teaching process. Therefore, foreign language teachers need to have certain knowledge and skills in order to be able to adapt new technologies to the teaching process. The transition of all schools in the Republic of Croatia to distance learning due to the pandemic caused by the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-19, showed how important it is to develop the teacher competencies for lifelong learning. In this research, based on research questions, we try to find out the opinions of teachers about the usefulness of ICT in teaching and its advantages and limitations. It also aims to gain insight into the differences between certain aspects of the use of technology in foreign language teaching before the pandemic and during distance learning, such as frequency and methods of use, types of ICT tools used and spatial and technical conditions. In the conducted research, 20 foreign language teachers from 6 high schools in the city of Zadar were interviewed using a semi-structured interview. The results of the research show that the respondents believe that it is useful to apply ICT in foreign language teaching and that it can help them in the teaching process. Also, teachers began to use ICT more often in distance learning and during its implementation they found new ways of presenting teaching content to students.
