Synopsis

Insights into Digital Literacy in Language Teaching explores digital literacy, digital pedagogies, digital technologies, and digital language teaching. The book responds to the need for language teachers to develop and improve digital competencies and digital language teaching strategies. It highlights five key elements of digital literacy: information search and evaluation; creation; communication; collaboration; and online safety. It provides a theoretical basis and a practical guide for language teachers and researchers with any degree of experience in technology-enhanced language teaching. It is a valuable resource for pre-service and in-service language teachers, teacher educators, and researchers.
