Abstract: Las herramientas digitales han llegado a ser parte de nuestras vidas, y en el campo de inglés como segunda lengua no está exenta a esto; los estudiantes que desean mejorar el idioma inglés buscan una variedad de herramientas digitales para alcanzar este objetivo.
Cada estudiante cuenta al menos con un Smart phone o una laptop como herramienta para su proceso de aprendizaje de una segunda lengua, siendo estudiantes que son nativos digitales, buscan una variedad de aplicaciones con el fin de mejorar la adquisición del inglés en los Estados Unidos. Cabe resaltar que los estudiantes están en total inmersión ya que viven y estudian en un campus americano escuchando e interactuando constantemente en inglés. Sin embargo, refuerzan su aprendizaje a través de herramientas digitales.
El propósito de esta investigación es saber qué tipos de herramientas digitales los estudiantes de inglés como segunda lengua utilizan para mejorar el idioma inglés y cómo estas herramientas digitales les ayuda a adquirir un segundo idioma. Se diseñó una encuesta para estudiantes internacionales de los siguientes continentes: Asia, Sudamérica, Europa y África del Centro de Inglés Intensivo de la Universidad de Andrews en Berrien Springs-Michigan, Estados Unidos, para conocer las herramientas digitales que utilizan.
Digital tools have become a part of our lives and the field of English as a second/foreign language is not exempt from this. Students who want to improve their English seek a variety of digital tools to accomplish their goal. The purpose of this research study is to know what kinds of digital tools ESL students use to improve their English and explore how they help in the process of acquiring a second language. Research participants from the Center of Intensive English Program (CIEP) at Andrews University completed a Likert scale survey to know the digital tools that most frequently used. Data collected were analyzed using SPSS to clarify frequencies and percentages, the survey’s outputs. The main digital tools used by the ESL students are YouTube (67.0%), Google translate (63.3 %), online dictionaries (37.0%), and Apps (37%). Students identified these tools as the most helpful in helping to improve, extend, and practice their English language skills. However, there was an agreement that English instruction and teachers are essential in the language learning process.
