Main Article Content
Abstract
This study explores the use of open-source digital tools and open educational resources (OER) in language learning, with a focus on teaching practices and students’ autonomous learning strategies. Conducted across several institutions of Hassan First University, the research follows a mixed-methods approach combining semi-structured interviews with 12 teachers and a questionnaire answered by 215 students. Findings reveal a growing but uneven use of OER, often hindered by lack of training, time, and infrastructure. Students frequently turn to online platforms (YouTube, Duolingo, ChatGPT, etc.) for self-directed learning, though they face challenges with motivation, consistency, and self-assessment. The study highlights the need for active pedagogical mediation to ensure effective integration of OER into teaching practices and calls for the development of contextually adapted resources within a more inclusive educational framework.
