| description | This article is the result of a small-scale research study aimed to enhance pre-service teachers’ participation in distance education tutoring sessions at the Universidad Santo Tomas, CAU (University Assistance Centre) in Chiquinquirá. The study was carried out by implementing mobile learning, specifically a mobile learning application called Kahoot. When carrying out online activities, in particular grammar games and oral discussions that involved the use of smart phones in tutorial sessions, the pre- service students were more engaged, and their participation increased greatly. Moreover, it is meaningful for students to improve their English language competence by activating their use of digital skills. Some of the benefits of mobile learning are flexibility and personalized learning activities, which try to address the needs of individual learners. This study showed that mobile learning promotes active participation, as well as knowledge construction and collaborative learning. It also creates a positive atmosphere and exposes students to innovative learning environments. |

Este artículo es el resultado de un estudio de investigación a pequeña escala cuyo propósito era mejorar la participación de los estudiantes de la licenciatura en lengua extranjera en las tutorías de inglés, en la Universidad Santo Tomás, CAU (Centro de Atención a Usuarios) de Chiquinquirá (Educación a Distancia), mediante la implementación del aprendizaje móvil, especialmente el uso de la aplicación de aprendizaje llamada Kahoot. El uso de celulares para participar en juegos de gramática en línea y discusiones evidenció que los estudiantes de la licenciatura se involucran más durante las tutorías y su participación aumenta considerablemente. Además, el aprendizaje se hace más significativo cuando sus habilidades digitales se ponen en práctica y se utilizan para aprender y mejorar su competencia en el idioma inglés. Algunos de los beneficios del aprendizaje móvil son la flexibilidad y la personalización de las actividades, lo cual busca satisfacer las necesidades particulares de cada estudiante. Este estudio reveló que el aprendizaje móvil promueve la participación activa, pero también la construcción del conocimiento y el aprendizaje colaborativo. También crea un ambiente positivo para aprender y expone a los estudiantes a entornos de aprendizaje innovadores.
