Modern Foreign Language (FL) instruction has recently called out for a language-culture-technology (LCT) nexus that could engage learners in transnational dialogue and interaction. This study focuses on the views of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers in Chile and their classroom practices in relation to an LCT nexus. The Chilean EFL…

This study was based on an innovation project at the university level with English as a Foreign Language pre-service teachers. This experience was implemented with several language levels in different academic periods of the programme. The project aimed to apply a technological tool such as StoryboardThat, in contrast to the traditional…

Purpose: Information and communication technologies (ICT) has an increasing impact on schools. School leaders play a key role in this context as drivers of innovation including those related to ICT.
