- To understand/ reinforce the different objectives and processes of language learning and the role of technology in this
- To understand different approaches to early language learning – both first language and second language; and the role of multilingualism in supporting language learning
- To develop resources using multiple tools - H5P, Open Board, animation applications, and audio visual tools – for language teaching learning
- To develop course modules that allow the teacher/ student to explore language in all its dimensions – the listening, speaking, reading and writing – using technology, and integrate these with the textbooks for languages
- To explore new digital tools and applications for language learning - especially for students with special learning needs (visual and auditory impairments)
- To develop a plan for the language program for the TCOL 3rd phase - through workshops, onsite demonstrations and resource sharing
- identify resource needs and plan for their creation, revision, curation and publishing
Audience for the program
- The program is intended for English language teachers in government, aided and unaided schools, including lower primary, higher primary and high schools (grades 1 through 10).
