Learning a Second Language Supported by Digital Technologies: A Systematic Review

Abstract

In this article, a systematic review is carried out with the objective of identifying the existing evidences about the implementation and the advantages of the use of different digital technologies in educational programs that promote the acquisition of a second language. This systematic review follows the methodology according to the recommendations provided by the Evidence-based Software Engineering method, the checklist of The Critical Appraisal Skill Program) to evaluate the quality of the selected articles and Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and MetaAnalysis for the preparation of the report. The databases used were Web of Science and Scopus. 8 articles are selected that meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Among the main results obtained, we emphasize that in the studies that use the tools of the Web 2.0, the social competences of language are integrated, specifically, the communication and interaction with purposes of production and social integration of the student in a new language. Therefore, Web 2.0 tools contribute to a more dynamic teaching of a language, generating a greater interaction that helps the acquisition of this. On the other hand, in research using Computer Based Learning tools, the individual is evaluated on specific topics of the language competencies such as phonetic and grammatical production.
