Sumario:This article shows the challenge for a research project to adapt methodological strategies in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, in the framework of my ethnographic studies on the experiences of teaching the Toba/Qom language in Intercultural Bilingual Education schools in Chaco, I had to reformulate the tools for virtual data collection. Thus, I designed a Google form entitled "The Toba/Qom Language at School”. This survey was designed to maintain continuity with indigenous teachers and to collect general data (from the place of Toba/Qom in school to their own linguistic knowledge and contexts of use), as well as the impact of the pandemic on school practice for the teaching of the Toba/Qom language in virtual classrooms during the 2020 school year. This article provides materials referring to the views of the Toba/Qom teachers of the Chaco on their work and raises alarms about the consequences that this pandemic is having on the increase in inequality and its consequences for the future schooling of indigenous children and young people.
