Abstract : The field of education is facing rapid change at all levels, which requires more technological and digital
competencies for teachers and educators to cope effectively with this change. The availability of digital technologies and
applications -in particular ICTs- demands from educators to develop their digital competencies. In fact being digitally
competent for an educator is related to the acquisition of specific digital skills to support the development of the pedagogical
contents. This paper focuses on how to identify the necessary competencies needed in the teachers’ professional
development and to highlight the tools and the obstacles for teaching digitally in the Moroccan higher education. Therefore,
digital competencies have become a prerequisite standard, because of the new educational reform in the Moroccan education
system. The new teacher’s roles are leading towards new paradigms and new practices. Consequently, most of the training
programs in Morocco tend to move from professional development of teachers to enduring change in their attitudes and
perceptions. However, many of the puzzles parts are uncompleted within the lack of technological and digital update of the
teachers’ competencies. The study reveals a number of factors that boost or hinder the use of ICT in language classes. In
addition, the results highlight the role of teachers’ digital competences in developing new teaching pedagogies, and suggests
that teachers' updated skills about teaching with ICT are central to achieve positive renovation.
