Pienso investigar acerca de los entornos virtuales de aprendizaje así que cualquier ayuda referente a las investigaciones que se han hecho al respecto será de mucha utilidad.
These are major studies on the use of virtual learning environments (VLEs) in English language teaching, covering topics such as mobile phone-based vocabulary activities, network-based language teaching, mobile learning readiness, task-based language teaching with technology, and the integration of computer-assisted language learning (CALL) into foreign language curricula. The studies are Stockwell (2010), Warschauer and Kern (2000), Zhu et al. (2016), Thomas and Reinders (2016), and Heift and Schulze (2013).

The Virtual Learning Environments (VLE) emerge as an alternative in the Teaching and Learning Processes (TLP) allowing the transformation of information evolving into new learning, which directly affects the roles of teachers, students, institution, and of course, the entire surrounding context. In this regard, the State University of Milagro (UNEMI) has built virtual classrooms as a teaching strategy based on Virtual Learning Environments (VLE) in the various careers offered through its five faculties. In response, researchers set as the aim of this research a) record the teaching and learning processes that have been developed through the institutional VLE in UNEMI English modules; b) describe the relationships that exist between the components of the teaching and learning processes when performed through the VLE in the English modules; c) provide knowledge about the teaching and learning processes through VLE; d) test the effects, relationships and contexts present in the teaching and learning processes through the VLE in the English modules. The obtained results consisted of defining through VLE a) methodological theoretical bases for improving the TLP; b) diagnosing the TLP in UNEMI English modules; and c) the validation of a strategy for improving the TLP through a VLE.
