The Use Of Digital Tools In The English Classroom In Spain

SUMMARY

In recent years, the rapid growth of information and communication technologies and social networks has radically changed our lives. The digital revolution has had a positive impact on all areas of society, especially in education, allowing students to improve their communication and language skills. Today, knowledge is on the web and teachers are the ones in charge of guiding the students in their learning process. For this reason, the teachers’ work is more important than ever; their role needs to be reconsidered and they must be ready for the challenges of a digital education. This study aims to be a tool to guide their steps towards a teaching prepared for society challenges, in which, as we have seen in recent years, at any time face-to-face teaching can falter. Teachers must make an effort and prepare themselves for the teaching of the future. Methodology, resources, tools and even evaluation must be adapted to the new era. This paper focuses on the integration of digital tools in English as a foreign language classroom. Its main objective is to design a program based on the development of digital competences of English language teachers. To this end, the evolution of the use of digital tools in the educational field and more specifically in the teaching of foreign languages will be scrutinized, analyzing the main advantages and disadvantages of their integration in the classroom. As for the program, the starting point will be an initial assessment based on the collection of information through a questionnaire to assess the digital competence of teachers. Moreover, activities aimed at teachers of our school English department are developed in order to put into practice the tools that will be analyzed throughout the program.
