Resumen

With the advent of modern technology, in many countries ICT (Information Communication Technology) has become a useful tool used in L2 learning with increasing frequency. It offers English learners the possibility of practicing the target language using computer applications, electronic writing, smart phones, audio books, virtual interviews, and other current methods. This project focuses on didactic strategies supported by ICT to upgrade 11th graders' four skills in a bilingual school in Cali, Colombia. The speaking, listening, writing and reading English abilities were covered and enhanced through EFL workshops with ICT-based techniques. The results obtained from students' data provided twelve significant findings, showing that ICT has limitations, but also offers highly effective ways for EFL learners to increase their language proficiency and TOEFL IBT scores.
