Teaching in general, as much as teaching languages in particular, has
changed tremendously in recent times, when all by a sudden each and
everyone went online and digital lectures became common place, at least
for a certain period of time.
In this course we will look at theories
(e.g. Network based Language Learning and Teaching), methods (e.g.
blended learning or flipped classrooms), tools (e.g. Moodle 2.0) and
mobile devices (e.g. Plickers, Kahoot) that are meant to facilitate
teaching in the digital age - whether it’s in the classroom, at home or
‘in the wild’. The course programme will also include a critical
evaluation of recent developments.
Next to providing you with an
overview of what this topic may offer to language teachers and
practitioners, a certain amount of time will be dedicated to hands-on
experience.
