Abstract

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have a significant impact towards designing more engaging and meaningful learning experiences in the context of English as a foreign language (EFL). The main objective of this study is to analyze the readiness of EFL pre-service teachers to select credible and reliable digital resources. The method followed to collect the data was qualitative, as the survey consisted of a semi-structured interview with open-ended questions provided to EFL Primary pre-service teachers. The results shed light on the fact that the majority of them followed no compelling criteria to select digital resources. The main conclusions extracted are that there is still so much work to do with regard to digital training for future teachers, and that they must be aware of the importance of becoming digitally competent, as it will let them always be updated in terms of digitalization.
