Non-native pre-service teachers, TEFL, digital learning resources, constructivism, communication strategies

This study sets out to examine the communication strategies (CSs) employed by non-native pre-service teachers (NN-PSTs) of English. Seven English lessons conducted by seven NN-PSTs were audio-recorded, transcribed and coded deductively as well as inductively. Each of the lesson included a digital learning resource. The aim was to find out whether NN-PSTs what CSs are NN-PSTs employing specifically in connection with their utilization of digital learning resources, whether traces of pedagogical constructivism in ICT facilitated ELT classrooms can be observed. The findings indicated that the NN-PSTs employed a variety of CSs for diverse intentions reflecting their multiple roles as teachers, novice teachers, and English language learners, however the majority was used more or less intuitively and subconsciously.
