In today’s globalized world, the importance of English is undeniable. Schools from all around
the world try to improve the English level of their students and some teachers make use of
ICT’s in their classes in order to make them more interesting, entertaining and student-centered.
This is the reason why numerous studies (i. e. Education First English Proficiency Index, The
European Survey on Language Competences) are conducted at European level with the only
objective to measure the level of English in each member state. The results always situate Spain
in the queue and northern countries such as Sweden are located at the beginning of the ranking.
The European Survey on Language Competences has been used in order to compare the results
acquired by Spain and Sweden in order to evaluate their education systems. Moreover, a study
of their national curriculums and language teaching methodologies has been conducted. Also, as
ICT’s have acquired an important position in nowadays schools, the European Union presented
The Second Survey of Schools: ICT in Education (2019) in order to update the results of The
First Survey of Schools: ICT in Education (2011). Thus, the results acquired by Spain and
Sweden in these two surveys have been compared. The aim of this paper is, first of all, to
determine why Spain obtains such results and determine if it is necessary to change the actual
education system; and secondly, establish if Spanish and Swedish schools are sufficiently
prepared to make use of ICT’s in their everyday classes. The results related to the English level
of students in secondary education, were the ones expected and once again it is demonstrated
that the Spanish education system needs to regulate education from another point of view and
that it is important to set new policies. On the other hand, the study related to the equipment and
use of ICT’s reveals important improvements. However, further studies should be conducted to
analyse the actual situation of the Spanish education system. [-]
