This article aims to investigate the implications of digital technologies in teaching practices of teacher educators from Letras courses. This research, then, has a qualitative approach and has as corpus information from the application of a structured interview with educators who teach undergraduate Letras courses at a public university in the countryside of Paraiba. In order to anchor the discussions and analyses proposed, we weave some ideas about contemporary teacher education (BEHERENS, 2007; CELANI, 2002; FREIRE; LEFFA, 2013; PERRENOUD, 2002, among others), and about the language teacher education in the face of new digital technologies (BALADELI, 2013; BOERES, 2018; IMBERNÓN, 2011; MARZARI, 2014; MARZARI; LEFFA, 2013). The research brings evidences that the use of digital technologies in their teaching practices implies changes in their pedagogical actions and in the process of teaching and learning languages. It also highlights the need to use such technologies for specific purposes to make teaching more promising alongside with the understanding that technological devices are tools that help teaching work.
