Application of digital tools in the teaching-learning process of the English subject in seventh grade

Abstract

The research focused on the application of digital tools to improve the teaching and learning of English in 7th grade at José Nicolás Vacas Coral School during the 2024-2025 period. Problems identified included a lack of teacher training, low student motivation, and unequal access to technological resources. The objective was to design a methodological procedure for the application of digital tools in the teaching and learning process of English, with a collaborative, inclusive, and flexible approach. Theoretical methods (historical-logical, analytical-synthetic, inductive-deductive, and modeling) and empirical methods (surveys, pretests, and posttests) were employed. The data obtained were analyzed statistically and descriptively. The methodological procedure proved effective, as it showed an improvement in students' motivation, participation, and development of linguistic and digital skills. The experience allowed for reflection on the need for a more strategic pedagogical use of ICTs. The validated methodological procedure lays the foundation for more inclusive, interactive, and relevant English teaching that meets the demands of today's environment.
