Objective of the Course:
The aim of the course is to help foreign language teachers gain and develop knowledge and skills in the following subjects:
1. Technology Integration in Course Design and Assessment: This module will help students develop their knowledge and gain key skills in the context of integrating technology while preparing lessons. This module consists of two parts. The first stage is to grasp the role of technology in designing effective language learning lessons by understanding different course design approaches. The second stage aims to design online courses for distance (partial or total) education and observe the effects of these on learning processes. Students will develop practical approaches using different digital tools and programs and will examine general educational processes and their own practices by increasing their critical evaluation skills.
2. Game-Based Learning: Digital games have been in the interest of both researchers and teachers since the first educational-entertainment products were developed. In the last decade, not only the game market has developed, but also the theoretical infrastructure for educational use of video games has expanded. Thus, experiments and related studies have produced good practice examples and principles to be followed have been put forward. This module will introduce students to game-based learning and raise awareness of the adaptability and limits in foreign language education. Special focus will be on the following issues:
- Educational potential of digital games
- Inclusion of digital games in the language learning framework
- The roles of the teacher, the student and the game
Social content of video games and language learning
