AB In the area of foreign languages, it is necessary to develop the digitalcompetence of future teachers in order to improve the teaching-learning process thatthey will carry out with their students. However, different intrinsic variables of teacherscan influence their use of information and communication technologies (ICT). The mainobjective of this study is to analyse the use of ICT by future primary education teachers.The secondary objective is to find out whether age, gender and motivation affect theiruse of ICT. Non-experimental research has been carried out with a sample of 134 futureteachers, specifically those teaching foreign languages. The results show that thefuture teachers of foreign languages have a pedagogical digital competence in the useof medium-low ICT, their most used technological devices being laptops and projec tors. Moreover, they do not use Web 2.0 tools when teaching languages. Regardinggender, it can be seen that there are no significant differences, while the age variabledoes influence the level of pedagogical digital competence. In addition, it has beenconfirmed that motivation constitutes an essential variable at the pedagogical digitalcompetence level, both in terms of the use of technological devices, as well as the useof Web 2.0 tools and of Learning Management Systems
