Language Teaching and Technology
This course will cover both theoretical and practical issues in teaching second language and the use of online and web-based technology. A special emphasis will be on combining both face-to-face and online approaches to enhance the second language learning process. Although the course will address the different tools of technology (synchronous, asynchronous, multimedia, etc.) associated with online learning, the emphasis of the course is on the pedagogical aspect of integrating online learning to face-to-face language teaching.
Theorie supporting the use of technology in Education
TPACK description:
Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) attempts to capture some of the essential qualities of knowledge required by teachers for technology integration in their teaching, while addressing the complex, multifaceted and situated nature of teacher knowledge. At the heart of the TPACK framework, is the complex interplay of three primary forms of knowledge: Content (CK), Pedagogy (PK), and Technology (TK).
Differentiated Instruction using technology:
Differentiated instruction (sometimes referred to as differentiated learning) involves providing students with different avenues to acquiring content; to processing, constructing, or making sense of ideas; and to developing teaching materials so that all students within a classroom can learn effectively, regardless of differences in ability.[1]
Universal design for learning UDL:
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is an educational framework based on research in the learning sciences, including cognitive neuroscience, that guides the development of flexible learning environments that can accommodate individual learning differences[1].
