• Resumen

  • Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have transformed education, especially in the field of communicative competences. However, the challenge remains how to efficiently structure and assess tasks designed to foster these competences in a digital environment. TareasTICa emerges as a comprehensive response that connects the creation, management, and evaluation of communicative tasks with advanced technological tools.

    This article describes the design, implementation, and analysis of the TareasTICa model, a methodological proposal based on constructivist and techno-pedagogical principles. The model seeks to promote the development of communicative competences among students of Spanish as a Foreign Language (SFL) through communicative tasks mediated by Information and Communication Technologies (ICT).

    Some tasks carried out through Google Sites are presented, supported by the PCIC syllabus on sociocultural knowledge and behaviors, after a study conducted with 77 future SFL teachers. The results show a positive evaluation of its adaptability and potential to motivate, contextualize learning, and develop linguistic and digital competences. Challenges related to teacher training and implementation in resource-limited contexts are identified. A digital feedback system is also proposed to foster critical reflection.

    Finally, practical recommendations are offered for integrating TareasTICa into the SFL classroom, contributing to the design of innovative and effective learning environments.
