Abstract
Digital competencies are the group of elements focused on the management and creation of educational environments with specific purposes of teaching and learning. However, the pandemic brought with it a sudden change that does not ensure whether English teachers have these skills to adapt to digital educational environments fully. The lens reflects on the limitations and aptitudes that the professors must-have in the gesture of these digital environments in the median study of the mediocre analysis of interviews, questionnaires, and observations. For this, we analyze the following aspects: a) the limitations that teachers find in the management of digital resources, b) teachers training in ICTs and c) digital competencies. To conclude, for teachers to acquire and reinforce digital skills, before risking misuse ICTs, they must recognize the resources they have to train and use technology appropriately for entirely educational purposes.
