ICT implementation in English language and English dialectology

Abstract

The aim of our paper is to show how we have implemented the use of ICT and competence teaching in two different modules in the degree of English Philology at the University of Valencia. We also try to demonstrate how their implementation has improved teaching and learning and how it has acted as a powerful catalyst for higher achievement. Using an Innovation and Education Programme (IEP) methodology has helped teaching methodology go beyond the bounds of the classroom. Another change brought about by the IEP is the defence of a cross-cultural teaching method. Furthermore, it has been a useful tool in the integration of the development of student competences. The implementation of the Innovation in Education Programme has strengthened teacher-student contact and promoted students’ class attendance.
