Rationale

Information Communication Technology (ICT) is a national priority for the Graduate Career stage of the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers (APSTs) and is critically important to language learning and teaching. Language teachers need to be competent in integrating ICT into the teaching of their target language and the experiences of students to better enable the achievement of curriculum goals. For educators to be able to use technology for language learning effectively, they need to learn about technology-enhanced language learning, understand the learning affordances provided by online tools and develop their knowledge and skills for using digital technologies.

Synopsis

This course is designed to introduce pre-service teachers to what educational technologies and online resources are available for language learning and how the technologies and resources can be used in digital learning environments to enhance learning/further engage learners. It provides opportunities for pre-service teachers to understand what computer-assisted language learning is and engage reflectively and critically with a range of online tools and activities for second/foreign/additional language learning. Course topics include key terms and concepts; computer literacy and digital literacy; online tools; and online activities for developing specific language skills and areas.

Objectives

The course objectives define the student learning outcomes for a course in accordance with the Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership鈥檚 (AITSL) Australian Professional Standards for Teachers (APST). On successful completion of this course pre-service teachers should be able to:

  1. apply knowledge of key terms and concepts of technology in language education (APST 2.6, 3.4, 4.5);
  2. use digital technologies and tools for language learning (APST 2.6, 3.4, 4.5);
  3. design and present activity resources supportive of language and cultural needs of students to develop their strategic language skills (APST 1.3, 2.6, 3.4, 4.5, 5.1);
  4. explain how technology can be integrated to enhance language learning (APST 2.6, 3.2, 3.4, 4.5);
  5. develop strategic pathways to apply technology-enhanced language learning (APST 3.4, 6.2, 7.4).
