Abstract

This chapter explores the use of selected digital language support tools in a cross-level English course preparing students for various international standardised examinations. It hopes to offer a better understanding of how digital technologies can be incorporated into language classrooms and what learners and teachers need to know in order to benefit from their use. The study addresses two questions: How familiar are learners with various online tools and what do they use them for? What do learners and teachers think about the tools in the context of foreign language learning, especially for exam preparation? To investigate these issues quantitative and qualitative methods are applied. The findings confirm that regardless of their language proficiency level students should be familiarised with the tools available to them and made aware of the advantages and disadvantages of using them for learning purposes.
