Abstract: The present work aims to identify the benefits and challenges of teaching English tied to the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT's), in addition to analyzing the training of teachers for the critical use of these tools in the classroom. To this do so, a brief literature review was conducted that brings up names such as FRANCO (2018), IFA (2006), MOITA LOPES (2008), RODRIGUES (2016) and other theorists who added in their knowledge on the theme addressed here. As a result, it is demonstrated that the traditional methodology of teaching English supported by the whiteboard and orality generates disinterest, demotivation and consequently hinders the language learning process. The study allows us to conclude that in the current period, technologies are already part of reality inside and outside schools and so teachers are urged to constantly update the domain of new languages, that is, they must also be digitally literate. Instruction on the didactic use of ICT is essential in order to give opportunities for English language classes more aligned with the digital age.

Keywords : English Language; Training of Teachers; Information and Communication Technologies.
