“El mundo digital como elemento facilitador de la enseñanza del inglés”

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to present a critical reflection that exposes both benefits and challenges of the use of technological resources for the teaching of English as a language, focusing specifically on those of a socio-economic nature. This reflection is based not only on the need to qualify all the advantages that are pointed out, but also to delve a little deeper in light of the evident difference in the literature on the relevance given to the benefits, in contrast to that given to the limitations. Without pretending to indicate that the challenges exceed the advantages, less interest is identified in the state of the art in this regard, and especially in the social challenges of the educational context for the application of this type of resources.
