Description

This course explores the profound impact of developments in society and curricular innovation on reading and writing instruction, involving a vital pedagogical shift, not just a tech update, demanding new approaches for MFL teachers.
Delegates will be invited to reflect on their current teaching practices, rethink authenticity and explore ways to adapt instruction and assessment targeting deep comprehension in digital contexts and developing higher-order writing skills.
Participants will be guided in and using dedicated tools for effective and engaging task design to promote students' critical engagement with both human and AI-generated content and preparing students for ethical AI use and future literacy demands.

Learning objectives

Learning Objectives & Expected Outcomes

Methodology & assessment

This highly interactive course employs a blend of theoretical input, practical workshops, and collaborative group work. Participants will engage in active learning through the analysis of sample tasks, case studies, and hands-on experimentation with digital tools.
Participants do practical work individually, in pairs and/or small groups applying the concepts and principles presented while analyzing related materials. Participants are supported to develop language activities and collaborative projects for use in their own teaching practice and/or international school projects. Participants are encouraged to bring their own devices for hands-on activities.

Assessment
At the end of the week delegates will demo, discuss and assess the teaching & learning materials that they created during the hands-on sessions.

Materials, digital tools & other learning resources

Course materials will include research articles, practical guides, and sample lesson plans. We will explore various digital tools: diverse AI writing/reading assistants (e.g., ChatGPT, summarization tools), online collaboration platforms and hypermedia resources.

To provide flexible access to course related tasks and resources a virtual learning environment (VLE) will be used. After the course participants will be able to access the VLE to promote follow-up communication and collaboration.
