Description

The course is designed to empower educators with the necessary tools and strategies to excel in the world of online teaching. As the educational landscape rapidly evolves, this course provides a foundation for instructors who have already experienced (emergency) online teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic but seek to further enhance their skills in blended and online environments.

Learning objectives

This course aims to:

further develop relevant teachers competences and confidence when combining classroom based and online learning approaches in language education
develop/ enhance participants' e-didactic repertoire involving
- competences to develop design based teaching and learning activities and related materials
- promoting teacher professionalism in evaluating and selecting available content, apps and tools

By the end of this course, participants will:

Understand the benefits and challenges of online teaching and learning, equipping them to overcome potential obstacles.
Have developed the essential skills, including pedagogical, technical, and administrative competencies, to develop and teach blends of in-person and online components
Comprehend instructional design models and theories that underpin effective course development.
Master the process of online learning activities, recognizing the importance of planning stages and team-based approaches.
Create clear learning outcomes that align with educational objectives and evaluate their effectiveness.

Methodology & assessment

The professional development approach is based on structured experiential tasks, peer learning and critical reflection. The course combines plenary, tutor-led introductions of methodological topics & presentations to demonstrate and discuss exemplary applications, materials & classroom procedures.
Follow-up activities include the exploration of relevant (new) apps and other digital tools/content. As well as applying the concepts and design principles presented by creating MFL and/or CLIL learning and teaching activities and related materials.
To provide flexible access to course related tasks and resources a learning management system (LMS) will be used. After the course concludes, participants will be able to access the LMS to promote follow-up communication and collaborative learning with respect to the implementation of new local practices.

Assessment
At the end of the week delegates will demo, discuss and assess a (micro) teaching unit for local practice and other teaching & learning materials that they created during the hands-on sessions.
