The coronavirus had produced changes in lifestyles and the virus has become a part and parcel of our daily lives, especially for students. With new teaching practices undertaken, new reforms are being made for students in high schools. This paper presents insights into the changing learning habits of Ecuadorian students. Recent studies have argued the use of comic strips in language teaching is a helpful tool in the acquisition of a target language during the post-pandemic situation. The present study will elaborate on the use of comic strips as a medium of learning, its benefits, and the challenges in its implementation. The investigation was carried out in a private school in one of the biggest cities of Ecuador with 50 participants. The findings are based on the results of surveys and articles related to the implementation of comic strips for language teaching after the pandemic period.
