| description | Technology involves a vast number of advantageous usages that range from the sciences to the educational settings. Limited access to computers and the internet, among other factors, are a drawback, thus, creating a digital gap. Nonetheless, the panorama for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) and the use of internet communication technologies (ICT) in Colombia is promising given the countless number of new resources found online. However, using ICT tools requires not only the teacher’s attention, but also governmental aid before they can be implemented in the EFL class. The scope of the ICT tools in the rural setting is vast and has a great impact on students. Therefore, if factors, such as equipment in decent conditions, updated applications, and training, are not provided the real amplitude of these tools cannot be measured. |

Limited access to computers and the internet, among other factors, are a drawback, thus, creating a digital gap. Nonetheless, the panorama for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) and the use of internet communication technologies (ICT) in Colombia is promising given the countless number of new resources found online.

La tecnología implica una gran cantidad de usos favorables que van desde las ciencias hasta los entornos educativos. No obstante, no solo el acceso a internet es el inconveniente de la brecha digital. Por lo tanto, el panorama para el inglés como lengua extranjera (EFL) y el uso de las Tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC) en Colombia es prometedor, debido a los innumerables nuevos recursos encontrados en línea. Sin embargo, el uso de herramientas TIC en la enseñanza requiere no solo la atención de los docentes sino también del gobierno antes de que puedan implementarse en la clase de EFL. El alcance de las herramientas TIC en el ámbito rural es amplio y tiene un gran impacto en los estudiantes. Por lo tanto, si escenarios tales como equipos en condiciones decentes, aplicaciones actualizadas y capacitación, no son garantizadas, la verdadera amplitud de estas herramientas no se puede medir realmente.
