This study aims to determine the influence of the implementation of technological tools (Wiki, interactive presentation, Webquest) in the subject "Teaching English as a Foreign Language" of a Graduate Program at the Faculty of Education Sciences of the University of Carabobo. In this action-research, 10 Spanish-speaking students participated, ranging in age from 30 to 45 years. Data collection, which were triangulated, included observation, a semi-structured and ethnographic interview, a
questionnaire and an analysis of the student products. The findings indicate that the technological tools are motivating and favor autonomous learning and different learning styles; however, they are demanding and time consuming.
