Abstract

Introduction: The great technological impact of the last decades and the wide development of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have been established as a characteristic of today's society. This vertiginous advance, and the quantity and diversity of changes that are being generated in knowledge, are inducing the school and its curriculum to a significant innovation and transformation. The irruption of ICT in the educational field leads to an increase in motivation and interest in the learning processes in students. Likewise, they have fostered the development of greater autonomy and competition within this society in continuous transformation. On the other hand, the amount of time that students dedicate to the use of certain technologies (mobile, internet, social networks and videogames) outside the school context and the variety of digital and audiovisual resources that are being developed, leads us to consider their influence on some of the basic psychological processes for learning, and their relevance to teaching practice. The use of ICT has been shown to influence skills such as attention, perception or memory. Method: 70 students, 35 girls and 35 boys, aged between 10 and 11 years, enrolled in the 5th year of Primary Education of a concerted center in the city of Granada, participated in this study Results: The results show that both the methodology used through ICT and the neuropsychological development of the students influence the learning of English as a second language. Discussion and conclusions: Thus, a methodology based on ICT in the teaching of second languages favors interest towards learning, facilitates access to other cultures, improves interaction between students, independence of students in their own learning, as well as their motivation towards it.
