Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) tools, highly representing out-of-school life, can motivate students to be more involved in the process of learning. As these tools can be used by students to communicate with their peers, create, disseminate, store, and manage information, they become integral to the teaching-learning interaction and process. The global society we currently live in requires that individuals develop both digital and cultural integration skills and competencies in order to become successful global citizens; teachers, as educators, not only as language teachers, are ‘important actors’ on this scene. This contribution discusses the responses to the Roma Tre University PRIN Teachers’ survey investigating teachers’ awareness and effective use of ICT in their daily English language teaching.Riferimenti bibliografici
