Active methodologies and digital resources for L2 teaching: A review in ways and possibilities

Abstract

This paper is a review article on Active Methodologies and Blended Learning for the teaching of L2 integrated with digital technologies, more specifically, how Active Methodologies present theoretical references for two gaps that are frequently presented on language teacher education: L2 teaching to children and the integrated employment of digital resources. The first gap consists of the lack of a specific approach for teaching L2 to children, in such a way that its pedagogical practice is a tinkering with elements of other subjects. The second one emphasizes the use of digital resources in an integrated way in learning spaces. We present a brief review of the main concepts of Active Methodologies. This article points out the necessity that this theme be present in pre-service teacher education, as well as a thoughtful integration of digital resources in pedagogical practices.
