The COVID-19 Pandemic has affected the teaching and learning process. However, in the post-pandemic period, returning to the face-to-face learning model after "getting used" to online learning also poses its own challenges for both lecturers and students. The purpose of the paper is to investigate the impact of the transition from face-to-face on campus to emergency remote teaching (ERT) and back to face-to-face on public speaking teaching and learning. In addition, this paper also discusses formulations in teaching and learning public speaking that can be applied during the post-pandemic period. The method of this study is qualitative descriptive. Data collection was carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation on public speaking teaching and learning at the Bachelor of Japanese Literature, Faculty Humanities, Udayana University. The results indicate the two impacts of face-to-face teaching and learning to ERT (Emergency Remote Teaching) and back to face-to-face teaching and learning in the public speaking course. First, students lose the atmosphere of public speaking that involves the audience face-to-face. Second, students lack time to practice while studying face-to-face methods. Both students and lecturers need time to adapt back to face-to-face classes because they have been accustomed to online teaching and learning for two years. Regarding the teaching and learning model of the post-pandemic period, it is recommended to combine both best practices of online to face-to-face teaching and learning to maximize the achievement of learning outcomes. In the future, teaching and learning in the public speaking course can be done more flexibly and can accommodate online-face to face teaching and learning simultaneously.
