Abstract

The introduction of new technologies is an increasingly common resource in the educational environment and, especially, in the teaching of a language. In this research work, a bibliographic analysis of the evolution of the most important methods and approaches in the teaching-learning process of the English foreign language aimed at higher education students was carried out, and the relationship between technology and foreign language teaching-learning is analyzed from a diachronic and critical perspective. To this end, the emergence of different technologies in the field of language teaching and learning is considered, as well as the analysis of their effectiveness in the foreign language learning process, noting various cycles of technological innovation, enthusiasm about its possibilities, scarcity of evidence of results and a call for caution regarding the impact of the technology itself. In conclusion, a state of positive but cautious alertness to the constant emergence of technologies that generate new opportunities for memorable learning is raised.
