Course objectives
The aim of this course is to familiarise students with the principled use of ICT for English language teaching in the upper secondary context using a range of devices and tools. This practical course shows learners how to marry language teaching methodology with the use of ICT in order to manage the class, select, augment, modify and redefine existing tasks to develop various aspects of learners’ communicative competence and digital literacy skills inside and out of the classroom.

After completing the course, a student will be able to: 1. Understand the concept of digital literacy and its practical application. 2. Use various devices, ICT tools and task types in a principled manner when teaching systems and skills to develop different aspects of learners communicative competence inside and out of the classroom. 3. Select lesson activities with the effective use of ICT, including the selection and evaluation of appropriate tools and materials from online and offline resources. 4. Create materials and relate different learning theories such as behaviourism and sociocultural theory to various ICT tools and task types. 5. Use ICT effectively to facilitate classroom management, including dealing with differentiation in class. 6. Navigate various virtual learning environments and communication tools for different purposes including their use as a communication tool with parents. 7. Form a personal learning network in order to network, collect material for and reflect on their practice.
