Resumen

El uso de la tecnología de apoyo (T.A.) en el aprendizaje de idiomas ha experimentado un gran auge en las últimas décadas gracias a los nuevos avances tecnológicos y al desarrollo de numerosas herramientas digitales (Huang et al., 2016; Khan et al., 2020). En esta investigación se analizan los conocimientos y la competencia del profesorado en el uso de la T.A. para el alumnado con necesidades específicas de apoyo educativo (NEAE) en general, y específicamente en el aprendizaje del inglés como lengua extranjera, así como su experiencia durante la pandemia por Covid-19. Los datos cuantitativos y cualitativos se obtuvieron a través de herramientas de medición, como encuestas realizadas a un total de 110 docentes y un debate semi-estructurado con un grupo foco de 10 docentes de lengua inglesa de varios centros escolares preuniversitarios. Los resultados evidencian carencias entre el profesorado en conocimientos y competencias en el empleo de la T.A. para el alumnado con NEAE, así como la necesidad de mejorar tanto el acceso a recursos tecnológicos como la formación de los docentes en este ámbito.
