Technology is one of the most creative and important parts of teaching, therefore it is necessary to apply it in the process of learning a new language. However, the use of the different tools that technology offers us makes the class more interactive, capturing the attention of the students and making them become the center of their learning.

The main disadvantages of cell phone use in class is that students can be easily distracted. They become dependent on its use and thus isolate themselves from their classmates. They are often distant from reality because they live in a virtual world in an obsessive way. It can generate cyberbullying and also lack of concentration in the activities in class. Excessive use decreases the quality of learning and academic performance.

According to this table taken from one of the articles that we have selected, we see some technological resources that students perceive as useful in online learning, among them are online tasks since written instructions seem to be very important, too. We found that email and text messages were preferred due to their flexibility, online videos were preferred over CD/DVDs, and online collaboration tools such as Wiki or Google Docs were perceived as the most useful. That is to say that the majority dominate these means and for that reason they feel comfortable and safe to use for their learning.

There is a great debate about it since there are people who consider prohibiting bringing a cell phone to class while others think that it would be very helpful in their learning. Now, it talks finding a balance where the cell phone is not a distraction but rather it can be a tool that helps him with their learning, achieving this will not only depend on the teacher but on what each educational authority demanded.

In both articles, it is recommended to continue with research of this type, of course taking certain specifications, I would recommend using different technological tools to teach a new language, creating a dynamic environment for students, in this way develop their skills and, as I mentioned before, we must find a balance for the use of all these new technologies that we have at our disposal.

# data[].attributes.body
It is recommended that phones be allowed in school, because students will have access to more information and will be more engaged during class. It is necessary to establish certain limits of use so that it becomes a distractor.
The phones allow students to take photos of signs, menus, announcements in English and allow them to reinforce their learning, as well as use applications to learn languages ​​with other people.

# data[].attributes.body
ICT is very useful because it provides great opportunities to develop and improve English listening, writing, reading and speaking skills.

The job of a language teacher is to teach students a completely new language, so technology is a fundamental tool that allows English teachers to integrate different skills with its various alternatives to incorporate: videos, websites, blogs and social networks provide the opportunity for the student to find entertainment and motivation to share information, explore new areas of knowledge, be autonomous and above all build better social skills.

# data[].attributes.body
Incorporating cell phones in the English class has many advantages that should be taken full advantage of, for example a significant increase in students' motivation, as it reduces the fear and pressure generated by the knowledge they have in the field of new technologies.
In addition, it encourages independent learning, fosters critical thinking and respect for different learning speeds and styles and students can access educational applications through their cell phones, last but not least, students develop better social skills that make such learning meaningful and valuable to them.

# data[].attributes.body
One disadvantage of cell phones in the classroom is safety issues such as cyberbullying and being targeted by strangers on social networks.

Another reason students should not be allowed to have cell phones in school is the addiction that cell phone use can cause.

Also, cell phones can be a distraction even for teachers and can encourage students to cheat on their exams.

# data[].attributes.body
My recommendation is to develop more research of this type as it can help many students and teachers to get the most out of mobile devices as they have many advantages when used correctly.

With the use of apps, students can download content and manage it from their mobile device, and there are educational apps with playful components that can enhance English language learning.

In the articles, we have determined that most students who want to learn English are more motivated to learn when using an English mobile app, which is important because a motivated person may be more likely to set goals and achieve them.

We can see from the articles that the use of cell phones in English language learning has increased in recent years, to the point that it has become an essential part of the language learning process.

# data[].attributes.body
Technology tools used to teach and learn English range from cell phones, tape recorders, textbooks and whiteboards to Web 2.0 tools that have helped develop the language skills of thousands of people.

With apps, students can upload and manage this content from their mobile devices.

In addition, there are educational apps with ludic components that can enhance English language learning.

Technology offers a variety of language learning resources that students can access from anywhere in the world.

There is remote access for students from various parts of the world in addition of online language courses.

Interactive and collaborative learning as a complementary tool for teachers in the classroom.

Everything learned online is then applied by practicing in person.

Students reinforce their vocabulary through images, graphics and videos. They also use technology to express themselves.

# data[].attributes.body
Technology has many resources that can be used in the classroom and complement language teaching. Kobayashi, (2017) mention that "teachers should try to use all the technological resources at their disposal" such as cellphones, computers, laptops, tablets and Smart Boards, which offer a variety of activities related to language reinforcement, since through songs, videos, applications, English it can become our second language.

Cell phones are a part of students' daily lives as they learn in a way they feel comfortable.

Students can get answers quickly through their smartphones because they provide the ability to search online.

They have access to educational applications and interaction with other students.

Smartphones enable social learning.

Students can be contacted if they have an emergency.

Mobile phones allow students to be located.

There is greater participation of parents to take care of the safety of their children and control what they observe.

In addition to being beneficial, the cell phone brings with it some disadvantages inside and outside the classroom, since it is the main element of distraction.

It is an element within cyberbullying and the inappropriate use of web pages and social networks.

Distraction is one of the main disadvantages of cell phones in school.

Interruptions in the classroom with the use of messages, music, notifications.

Students who divide their attention between listening to a lecture and texting on Facebook underperform students who do not divide their attention.

Continued use of the tools available in the classroom through the integration of ICT and the continued integration of students in the management process is recommended
Always keep up to date with the technological tools available and usable in the teaching and learning process.

They provide greater flexibility in learning, in addition, games can be of great help in the training process, promote cooperation and participation where useful activities can be found and information can be accessed online.  The use of these tools makes access to knowledge fast and easy, as students can use their mobile devices as teaching tools to encourage interaction between teachers and students.  In this way, students can learn at their own pace.

There are many technical resources that can be used in the classroom to enhance the teaching and learning process, such as e-books and tools like Audacity, where students play sounds to improve their listening. There is also a Learning Management System (LMS) that is used to manage online learning.

Integration of Technology in the Classroom

# data[].attributes.body
Technological tools help a lot because they provide the opportunity to develop listening, writing, reading and speaking skills in English. The English teacher creates learning activities using technological resources to enhance the teaching and learning of English in a purposeful, dynamic and interactive way, allowing them to enhance the different competencies of the students, so they can interact with native speakers or foreign language learners.

# data[].attributes.body
The use of the technological tools in the foreign language classroom is a resource that motivates students, completes the teaching process, stimulates open discussions, and helps to share stories among students. We can have our students use new technologies in the classroom in many different ways: using commercially developed language programs or web-based activities, assigning specific final assignments, having students search for information, or encouraging students to communicate with other students through any social network (and preferably with foreign students).

# data[].attributes.body
There is a great variety of digital resources on the web, which are available and within the reach of the teacher, which refer to educational software that allow the innovation and creation of new didactic materials, useful and applicable to the teaching-learning process.

# data[].attributes.body
As we are advancing in technology, and seeing that each time it takes up less space and has the same quality or better, we can take advantage of the new smartphones for teaching and education of our new generations, taking advantage of the interest that students have for technology.
-Motivation of students.
-Quick access to a large amount of information in real time.
-Application of innovative pedagogical methods.
-Interactivity between teachers and students.
-Interactivity between technology and learning content
-Easy to transport.

# data[].attributes.body
Some disadvantages are:
-Small screen, limited visible information.
-High cost of network access and telephones.
-Fragility of the devices.
-Loss of connection speed (wi-fi, 3g, bluetooth, etc) due to interference of wireless signals.

# data[].attributes.body
All these technological applications are not the solution to all the educational problems in which teachers normally develop their teaching practice and educational intervention. However, it is true that they open lasting paths to new forms of intervention prior to any other previously made.

Therefore, technology brings great benefits, but to take advantage of them it is necessary to follow a series of recommendations:
-Educating minors about the dangers they may encounter on the net.
-Establish a decalogue or rules for its use.
-It is necessary to accompany the minor the necessary thing, without invading his privacy.
-Inform them that everything they see on the Internet is not true.
-Teach the use of cell phones as a means of communication in emergency situations.
