Description
Summary:EFL teaching has undergone major changes in recent years. For educators to adapt to these changes and to improve the teaching-learning process, firstly, they will need to reflect on their own personal, emotional, and professional characteristics. Secondly, they must take into account the attributes and preferences of their students. Accordingly, it has been determined that teachers' motivation will be positive or negative depending on their working conditions and the attitude of the learners. For the last to be optimal, the teacher will have to choose innovative methodologies, a range of strategies and new resources such as the new technologies. Therefore, the introduction of ICT (games, applications, social networks, etc.) in the classroom, as a complement, will have many advantages for both teachers and students as it will be shown in a didactic proposal. These will be the improvement of attention, organisation, behaviour, motivation, and critical thinking.
