<b>Analyzing the potential of mediation technology for the improvement of the theoretical competence of language teachers
Abstract
This article discusses some possibilities to improve the theoretical competence through the use of technological tools that allow the language teacher to access and learn relevant theories to their profession. Assuming that adult learning should start from significant experiences that lead to the development of their cognitive, emotional, interpersonal and intrapersonal skills (Drago-Severson, 2009), some technological tools were used in an extension course held in 2014 and now are analyzed for their potential as mediators in the process of improving theoretical competence of the language teacher. The results indicate that mediation by digital technologies was fruitful and can be an important resource in the education of language teachers.
