Abstract
Our world today is ruled by technology, a fact
that directly influences the way students learn. In addition, as
teachers, we have witnessed how this situation is projected in
the field of pedagogy. New pedagogical models are required
to conform to the new ways of learning of the so-called "net
generation" (Tapscott, 2008)[1]. Also, the use of cyber tools
for learning foreign languages not only means that teachers
have a wide range of learning resources at their disposal, but
it also involves the creation of new discourses and modes of
communication in the teaching context. This article presents
the results of an investigation that was conducted during a
semester with two groups of students who worked with a
digital portfolio for learning a foreign language as a part of
their formal training and evaluation. Results show learner´s
multimodal discourse analysis to ascertain how the
discursive production of SFL1 students in digital portfolios
integrate oral language in multimodal communication and
how it enhances the learning process of oral language skills.
