Exploring the Transformative Impact of ICT Integration in the EFL Classroom
Resumen
Este artículo examina el impacto transformador de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC) en el aula de inglés como lengua extranjera (ILE). Las TIC facilitan un aprendizaje eficaz al proporcionar acceso a información diversa, permitiendo a los estudiantes relacionarla con sus cursos y entablar debates con compañeros y educadores. Los beneficios se extienden a los profesores de ILE, ya que permiten un cambio hacia enfoques centrados en el alumno mediante recursos multimedia y el contacto directo con hablantes de inglés de todo el mundo. Los objetivos del estudio abarcan el análisis del uso transformador de las TIC en las aulas de ILE, la identificación de las mejores prácticas y herramientas utilizadas por los educadores, y el reconocimiento de los retos asociados a esta integración. El proceso de selección de artículos consistió en filtrar los relacionados con las TIC en las aulas de ILE, excluyendo los centrados únicamente en la pandemia COVID-19 para mantener una perspectiva en la que las TIC no fueran el único recurso disponible. ProQuest sirvió como base de datos principal, complementada con referencias cruzadas en ResearchGate, Scopus, Web of Science y Google Scholar. La revisión abarca artículos publicados entre 2018 y 2024, utilizando una variedad de metodologías de investigación, incluidos estudios cuantitativos, cualitativos y mixtos. Surgen tres temas de investigación clave: beneficios del uso de las TIC en las aulas de ILE, desafíos en la integración de las TIC y metodologías y herramientas TIC empleadas. Además, se presentan tablas de frecuencia que detallan la distribución de los artículos por tema de investigación y país.
