Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the topic of the usefulness of a traditional textbook in the teaching of Italian at philological studies, especially in reference to the changes caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. The latest theoretical approaches to textbooks are taken into account, as well as the specifics of distance teaching in general, in order to highlight the conditions of foreign language teaching in the pandemic (considered “emergency distance teaching”) and the ways traditional textbooks are used. The analysis of the usefulness of textbooks in remote education is based on the results of a survey conducted in February and March 2021 among Italian language instructors at selected Polish universities.
