Abstract

What we know as Information and Communication Technologies, or ICTs, encompasses all electronic devices and network systems that enable society to interact digitally. There is, however, a key difference between ICT and the Information Technology (IT), as can be seen from common definitions of ICTs, which often, if not always, include terms such as interacting, transmitting, or sending, hence: communication is key. This paper aims at presenting a classroom project proposal based on the application of ICTs (a podcast), which allows the objectives set out in the English as a Second or Foreign Language curriculum to be effectively incorporated during the teaching-learning period for students. This paper also aims to serve as a guide for other teachers of the English language who seek to effectively integrate the use of innovative methodologies into their lessons, based on the effective use of ICT in the classroom. Among the methodologies that can be implemented in the classroom with ICTs and innovative methodologies such as the flipped classroom, project-based learning, or game-based learning, which will be discussed in detail.
