Uso de recursos digitales en el aprendizaje de inglés en estudiantes de primero de Bachillerato General Unificado de la U.E. Santa Luisa de Marillac

Abstract

Abstract: The objective of this research is to analyze the use of digital resources in English language teaching with First Course General Baccalaureate students at the Santa Luisa de Marillac Educational Unit, with the aim of developing a didactic proposal to exploit these resources and strengthen their communicative skills in the second language. The methodology employed was based on a mixed approach with an explanatory sequential design and a descriptive scope, using surveys and in-depth interviews administered to the learners. The findings revealed marked student autonomy regarding the use of tutorials and a preference for gamification, although an uneven impact favoring receptive skills over productive ones was evidenced. Additionally, infrastructural limitations that condition the learning process were identified, particularly regarding the preferential use of smartphones. In response, this study supplies a design of strategies combining traditional and technological activities to balance these competencies. The findings demonstrate that this proposal s implementation will help transform recreational ICT use into meaningful learning experiences oriented towards A2-B1 proficiency levels.
