LKTs as a means of learning English for specific purposes in a virtual modality

Learning English implies developing oral, writing, reading, and listening competencies in real contexts to avoid its isolated conceptualization for appropriate communication since the meaning and interpretation of language deal with Semantics and Pragmatics. The study focussed on these objectives: identify the learning and knowledge technologies (LKTs) used in the Semantics and Pragmatics course; know the subjects' perceptions concerning their usage and the findings obtained from their application. Methodologically, a descriptive longitudinal quantitative approach took place, getting these results: identification of LKT resources to promote writing, oral, listening, and reading competencies focused on Semantics and Pragmatics, description of students’ perception regarding LKT resources characterized as triggers motivational to learn collaboratively with a positive attitude in their use. The study corroborated that this proposal let subjects grasp the meaning and interpretation of language and achieve a higher proficiency level. In conclusion, LKTs represent a potentially ideal means of learning the language in virtual environments, understanding how they work in context, and acquiring key fundamentals to communicate successfully.
