Developing language skills in the classroom. The teaching of english language

      Аннотация: The use of ICTs and Educational Software is one possibility for people who want to develop language abilities and learn a foreign language in an autonomous way. This research is relevant because it can bring new possibilities to computer assisted language learning, and give some orientations to overcome the difficulties in using educational software. Computer­ mediated language learning (CALL), especially educational software, has been an important resource in teaching / learning English, enabling valuable contributions for English-speaking students as a second language insofar as it provides diverse forms of contact with the language in activities that can be performed extra-class. This work presents a research proposal of an ongoing course on the use of educational software in the teaching and learning of English Language. The established objectives go in the direction of knowing the pedagogical use that the English teachers make of the educative software; determine the reasons for using these software or not. The methodology is based on qualitative and quantitative case study research with the perspective of a critical look at real-life situations.
