Sumario:[EN] The present study aims to investigate how effective pre-service language teachers perceived the engagement fostered in an online language pedagogy course. The course was targeted at developing pre-service language teachers’ content-specific knowledge and digital skills through CALL within a language teacher training program implemented at an Italian university. The instructor used various learning environments and teaching methodologies to foster engagement. The data for the study were collected through an online semi-structured questionnaire administered to 33 pre-service language teachers at the end of the course. Findings show that pre-service language teachers deeply valued the high degree of engagement fostered in the course, although some challenges emerged at the beginning.
