The future professional world of today's students is becoming a life-long learning process where they have to adapt to a changing market and an environment full of new opportunities and challenges. Thus, the development of a number of personal and professional skills, in addition to technical content and knowledge, is a crucial part of their learning process and, consequently, of higher technical education and training. Among these skills, the knowledge of modern languages, especially English, stands as pivotal to achieve successful communication, which is a fundamental ability in an increasingly international world. This paper discusses the benefits of combining CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) and technology-enhanced learning by means of the "InGenio" authoring tool and content manager. (Contains 5 footnotes.)
