Resumen

Las exigencias lingüísticas y académicas de la enseñanza del inglés en la educación superior pueden convertirse en un obstáculo difícil de superar. Dado que el currículo que integra la tecnología parece proporcionar una serie de oportunidades que promueven el compromiso y las habilidades lingüísticas, es preciso examinar si la motivación, la autorregulación y el aprendizaje de una L2 se pueden aumentar a través de las tecnologías digitales. Este artículo describe una intervención de 6 semanas realizada en la que participaron 205 estudiantes de inglés para fines específicos de una universidad británica. Empleando técnicas de visualización de la L2 y portafolios digitales, la intervención demostró ser beneficiosa para la participación estudiantil y la adquisición del inglés.
