Digital tools for language learning in the 3rd ESO curriculum

Treball Final de Grau en Estudis Anglesos. Codi: EA0938. Curs acadèmic: 2019/2020Through the years, it has been observed that the usage of ICTs has gone through a considerable evolution. In this sense, ICTs should not only be used as entertainment, but also as a new method to teach the new generations of English learners. As a result, teachers should center on making students the active subjects and provide them the tools to learn by themselves. By this means, this will develop their motivation about learning a new language as well as their critical thinking. For this reason, the aim of this paper is to demonstrate that the usage of ICTs in a classroom is an effective technique when teaching contents and language. The project, therefore, will introduce three concepts; ICT and Language Learning, Digital Competence and ESO Curriculum. A description of a list of digital tools with a brief introduction to each one is presented. The teaching proposal provided will include a selection of digital tools for a 3 rd of ESO Curriculum. To conclude with, some final remarks and limitations will be discussed
