The effectiveness of ICT Tools in teaching English.

Based on the article: Effectiveness of the Integration of ICT Tools and Activities to Foster Awareness as the First Stage to Reach Learning Autonomy by Andrea Ariza y Mario Suarez.

Nowadays, ICT Tools favor the learning of the English language greatly, since not only do they develop linguistic skills in the students but they also guide them through their experience, contributing not only to their development and to the mastery of the English Language, also it gives them a true knowledge of themselves, that is why the role of teachers is fundamental to discover and recognize the strengths and weaknesses that students have inside and outside the classroom.

On the other hand, it is very interesting to know that to achieve a successful learning of the English Language through ICT Tools, the learning strategies that a teacher uses and the meta-cognition processes that are taken into account at the time of teaching encourage in the student the ability to learn to learn to build truly meaningful learning.

To conclude, the use of ICT's will undoubtedly help students to be independent and work on making their own decisions, they will be able to recognize the tools that best adapt to their learning style and what their preferences are, making them more autonomous and helping them to improve in other aspects of daily life.
