Digital Texts as a Teaching Alternative of the Mother Language

Abstract

This research was carried out with students of the Humanities and Spanish Language Bachelor at the University of Pamplona, who were doing their pedagogical internships at school level. The project pursued the following objectives: critically and pedagogically reflect on the training role that students in the Spanish Language area must assume in the new educational scenarios because of the pandemic situation caused by COVID-19, contrasting the national educational guidelines and policies regarding the pandemic and its real effect in the classroom, and finally propose a curricular perspective for language teaching based on “digital texts” as a learning alternative. The methodology was based on the qualitative method with an evaluative design; the techniques and instruments were participant observation, the field diary, the questionnaire, the diagnostic test, interviews, and the final test, according to the modality that each teacher in training guided. The results show the gap between face-to-face environments and virtual environments, which allowed proposing new didact alternatives such as textual formats and natures and their usefulness in the new educational scenarios.
