Abstract:

There are studies that show that the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) play an important role in the teaching-learning process and the teaching of a foreign language is not alien to such influence. This paper presents the results of the experience of the use of the b-Learning / m-Learning approach as support for the improvement of the capabilities of the English area of ​​engineering students of the Technological University of Peru (Arequipa headquarters). The course used as a virtual platform Helbling-Ezone, Youtube and Edpuzzle, where pedagogical activities were proposed as a complement to face-to-face classes. The research was quantitative, quasi-experimental. The results of the Student's T test show us the improvement of the experimental group with the b-Learning / m-Learning approach in three dimensions: grammar and vocabulary, written production and oral production. We believe that this experience can be replicated in other institutions independent of the platform to choose and considering the complementary tools such as Youtube and Edpuzzle.
