Digital text and communication literacy of English Language Teachers: Implications from a reconstructive study on teachers’ professional development

Abstrak / Ringkasan

<p>In this contribution, we will introduce the concept of Digital Text and Communication Literacy (DITECOL), which was developed as part of the DigiNICs project. It contains subject-related, functional, critical, and methodological competences to deal with and teach digital texts and communication forms in foreign language education. We will present first results from a qualitative interview study with six English language teachers who participate in the DigiNICs project. The study examines how they perceive their usage of digital texts and communication forms a) in their lessons and b) in the context of in-service teacher training. The interview data was analysed using the documentary method to reconstruct the teachers’ prevalent guiding orientations. We will present the results by using two sample case descriptions. Based on that, we will discuss preliminary implications for fostering DITECOL among English language teachers.</p>
