Abstract

The main objective of this article is to present part of the results of a research project on the Technological Skills for Learning (HTPA) of the English Language Teaching (LEI) students of the Facultad de Lenguas Campus Tuxtla (FLCT) of the Universidad Autónoma de Chiapas (UNACH). This study was carried out through the implementation of data collection techniques and the comparison of the degree of development of these techniques between two groups of different semesters. The project was carried out in two stages that spanned from November 2020 to June 2021 and from August to November 2021. Likewise, data collection techniques were designed and applied to know the HTPA of the students. The section of the study was mixed since the aim was to know the acquisition levels of the HTPA and present them as data that allow interpretations and the generation of future proposals for the required intervention, in addition to analyzing the change to online education due to Covid-19 and the technological tools and skills developed by the LEI students of the FLCT, UNACH.
