Build English and Technology Skills in Costa Rica #641

A six-month mixed-methods pre- and posttest study was conducted with 187 elementary school-aged children in Costa Rica whose English teachers used a digital learning program to help students develop English and digital literacy skills. Assessment results indicated the program’s positive impact on children’s language skills, and qualitative data provided insights on how using the program helped students and teachers develop digital literacy skills. Strategies for effective use of digital programs in EFL settings are discussed.
