The first milestone to be reached in the framework of the Erasmus+ project Fit4DigiLinE is the development of a cross-national report, aimed at deeply investigating the motivation and/or limitation for digital transfer of languages by giving an updated and contextualised overview of teachers and experts’ opinion on the matter. The report will be published at the end of September 2021 and the findings will set the basis for the development of the e-learning course focused on personal, social and digital competences for teaching languages in a digital setting.
In this initial research phase, more than 300 experts (between teachers, language educators and language schools’ managerial bodies) have been directly involved in the research activities through the implementation of structured surveys, online or face-to-face semi-structured interviews, and focus groups.
The first engaging activity was be the delivery of the survey according to which next project activities will be developed. The survey analysed language educators and managers’ opinions on their needs and demands, with a specific focus on Digital, Social and Personalcompetence educators believe is important to be competent in. The survey aims were to understand the interviewees’ point of view on digital literacy and resources and the possible benefits such resources could bring to the teaching environment. Partners also examined whether participants believe or not that technical and digital tools (such as online or device-based apps) may help them when teaching a language, making their lessons more exciting and interactive for the learners.
From December 2020 until March 2021, two different surveys were sent out within and outside the partner countries, addressing teachers and experts on one side and managers on the other.
After the collection and deep analysis of 276 responses (225 teachers and 51 managers), partners proceeded with the conduction of face-to-face/phone or Zoom preliminary semi-structured interviews (36 interviews in total) before running the focus groups. These initial interviews, indeed, allowed the gathering of excellent insights that were then further explored during the focus groups.
In April and May 2021, the consortium organised onlinefocus groups interviews with the involvement of 33 language educators and managers, highlighting the interviewers’ views on digital language education and collecting several good practice examples they are aware of.
Contextually, an Interview Guide containing open questions on the topic and instructions for a moderator on how to conduct focus groups were compiled in English, then translated into the partner languages and were made available as a resource for language schools.
After the overall analysis of all the research results, partners came up with a catalogue of requirements summarising different demands and needs of language educators and managerial bodies in the national countries.
On the ground of the information gathered in the first research phase, the consortium delivered a collection containing 21 examples of good practices and useful resources that are going to be included in the report.
