Abstract
The use of technological tools is essential in modern education, especially for pre-service English teachers. This is because technological tools enrich and facilitate the process of teaching and learning the English language, as they allow access to various innovative online teaching resources, making classes attractive by encouraging students' engagement in learning a second language. In addition, the use of technological tools promotes a practical and engaging educational environment. The objective of this study was to identify the technological tools used for teaching English by pre-service English teachers of the eighth cycle B of the National and Foreign Languages Pedagogy English career at the Technical University of Cotopaxi, Pujilí campus. The research used a quantitative methodology, focusing on descriptive data analysis to identify the technological tools used in teaching the English language. The technique was a survey, and the instrument was a questionnaire composed of 9 multiple-choice questions designed to diagnose technological tools. The study members were 28 pre-service English teachers from the eighth semester B, their ages were between 20 and 27 years old. The participants were selected through intentional sampling, given the exploratory nature of the study and the ease of access, selecting the participants according to the needs. This study highlights the importance of technological tools in teaching English. The pre-service English teachers use YouTube and PowerPoint to facilitate visual interaction, Facebook as a social tool, Kahoot, and Quizizz to encourage active participation in the classroom. Overall, technology is perceived to bring great benefits to learning and teaching, highlighting the importance of ongoing professional development in the field of educational technology.
