The aim of the present paper is to make a theoretical review on the concept of Personal
Learning Environments (PLEs) in relation to EFL learning, and to carry out a practical
study aimed at analysing the features of PLEs from EFL secondary school students. In
order to develop this analysis, three research questions have lead the study: RQ1. What
are the common features of a PLE from a secondary school student? RQ2. How are their
PLEs in relation to EFL learning? RQ3. How can EFL teachers take advantage of their
PLEs composition in order to introduce language learning as a part of it?
The study has been developed by obtaining 10 PLEs samples designed by a 4th ESO
group of EFL students. After having analysed these PLEs, I have created an average PLE
which reflects the digital applications and platforms that students have included in their
PLEs, being Whatsapp, Instagram and Youtube the most popular. Regarding the
relationship between students’ PLEs and their EFL learning experience, the most
remarkable point is the fact that none of the students are users of EFL learning apps, but
they use other applications that are not strictly related to EFL for this purpose such as
Instagram, Tik-Tok, Papás 2.0 and Spotify. Finally, I have explored the possibilities of
using applications already present in our students’ PLEs in order to enhance their
autonomous learning process and their EFL learning such as Whatsapp and Instagram. [-]
