Week 1 (Jan 19-21) – Reconceptualizing and Recontextualizing Language Education and ICTs in the Classroom

Reconceptualizing and Recontextualizing Language Education and ICTs in the Classroom One of the goals of this course is to help preservice teachers gain a deeper understanding of everything that introducing ICTs/digital literacies/internet-based tasks entails. The central argument here is that we need to engage in an epistemological discussion about the use of these new media and digital literacy practices as the precursor of the instrumental work that will take place in the classroom, and not the other way around.

To engage in this work, students will initially watch Prof. Areiza lecture:
