| dc.description | This qualitative single-case study explored the perceived affordances of informal activity systems mediated by online technologies for promoting English language learning among 115 FL teachers-in-training at UNAD. The study employed a word-based questionnaire administered to the entire sample, followed by small focus group interviews with 20 purposively selected participants, (Morgan & Hoffman, 2018). The resulting data were analyzed using a dynamic and fluid 2-cycle coding procedure. The findings show that learners’ ability to per-ceive and engage with technological, social, metacognitive, and language learning affordances significantly influences their engagement with technology-mediated activities and their level of success in acquiring a for-eign language. Notably, perceiving physical affordances serves as a prerequisite for perceiving more complex affordances, such as educational and social ones. This research significantly contributes to the advancement of knowledge regarding informal English learning mediated by online technologies, with a particular focus on distance education models. The study highlights the importance of fostering learners’ autonomous learning skills, given that most of the language learning in such models occurs in informal settings, and it discusses the need to leverage online resources to maximize language FL affordances for FL teachers-in-training, ultimately enhancing their language learning outcomes.Keywords: affordance, informal learning, online technology, activity system, activity theory.
