Abstract

This study is linked to a research project approved by the Valencian Educational authorities: "Analysis of teaching strategies on the digitalization of the pre-primary and primary education curriculum" (GV/2018/074). The study aims at finding out the perception of pre-service English teachers on the use of digital resources after taking part in two virtual exchanges. It shows their perceptions of the impact of those exchanges in their training as future practitioners. The perception of the influence of MOOCs, Virtual Exchanges (VEs) and different ICT tools as well as some other professional competences are analysed though interviews, surveys and focus groups in a group pre-service TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) teachers. The results suggest that pre-service teachers perceived an improvement of their digital literacy and also their teaching skills after having completed both VEs. Moreover, they also appreciate the transferability of those experiences in their future practice and state how VEs can enhance their employability.
