Resumo:Digital resources gained prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic, swiftly replacing face-to-face classes with online and hybrid environments. This study is set within the context of “Idiomas sem Fronteiras” (Languages without Borders, IsF), which offers language courses for specific purposes to the university community aimed at developing and enhancing their linguistic proficiency, as well as training language teachers for internationalization. This article presents a segment of a dissertation, aiming to identify digital resources used by teachers in training at IsF in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) classes. The data, of a qualitative nature, originate from participant observation in pedagogical training meetings and courses taught by teachers in training, as well as from field diary notes. From the observations, it was possible to identify the resources used in the course, understand the use of these tools, and the skills that were developed through their use during the classes.
