The aim of this paper is to show some possible contributions of Distance Education in a new perspective of teaching/learning processes of a Foreign Language supported by technology. The resources offered by technology are very important and they make it possible to amplify new learning opportunities for those students who, for many reasons, cannot continue their learning process through the presence mode. The use of technology, more specifically the Internet, allows the access to information which may help the students to build their knowledge and become themselves active in their learning process.
