Learning unit contents

In general terms the course presents...

• the principles, characteristics and varieties of ICT uses;
• their advantages and limits in linguistic or cognitive terms, particularly in the context of language learning;
• issues in this field and their implications at the level of objectives and teaching methods for languages;
• modalities for the use of TIC in course and classes teaching French as a foreign or second language (in the classroom or remotely).

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

Participants in the course should become able to :

• gain facility using the Internet for pedagogical purposes;
• evaluate the usefulness of multimedia resources in classes of French as a foreign language;
• discover digital pedagogical resources;
• create interactive online activities and exercises;
• make use of various functionalities of an e-learning platform.
   

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

• Should have knowledge and/or experience in linguistics and teaching methods;
• Should have knowledge of basic computer skills (word processing, e-mail, Internet navigation).

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

After having thought about the impact of digital technology in the teaching/learning of French as a foreign language, students will discover a series of tools enabling them to test the class, to assess their expertise and to stimulate peer exchanges and collaboration inside or outside the classroom. Numerous examples of concrete applications will be shown.
They will then be invited to create an original lesson (two students) or to enhance existing lessons using digital technology (one student).

Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)

Face-to-face.
Second semestre, Tuesday, from 14:00 to 16:00 am, L5 (room 2/5), rue de Pitteurs, 4020 Liège..

Organisational adjustments related to the current health context

If we cannot go to class on Tuesday, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., due to a partial or complete re-containment, we will meet on the same day at the same time by videoconference.
All the information necessary for the smooth running of this distance course will be communicated to you in the online course on eCampus.

Recommended or required readings

Various documents and bibliographical references will be given to students during the course.
Class notes will be posted as appropriate on eCampus (FLES0003-A-a : Des TICe pour l'enseignement/apprentissage du FLE).

Assessment methods and criteria

Below you will find information on the evaluation methods planned for in-person and remote exams as well as those planned for hybrid sessions. Depending on how the health crisis evolves, the chosen method will be communicated to you no later than one month before the start of the exam session.

You will be evaluated on:

• the presentation of original ICT integrated lesson or activites and its (their) upload on the course material of their choice (with an original pedagogical video) ;
• the proofreading of peers'work ;
• four sequences of the MOOC ULiege "Moi, prof de FLE" (2.3,  5.3, 4.3  and 3.4)
