ICT as an instrument for foreign language teaching: methodologies and practical application
 CILTA, the Interfaculty Centre for Theoretical and Applied Linguistic "L. Heilmann" (University of Bologna), presents to European teachers selected for a Socrates scholarship in the Academic Year 2004/2005 an advanced in-training course focusing on the international context of didactical Web technologies and aimed at providing teachers instruments and tools for the acquisition of an autonomous role within the teaching-learning process, and in particular within the process of courseware production.
With this objective, during the Course students will be asked to create their own didactical project for a presentation to the class.
The structure of the Course, developed over a two weeks' period, will allow a more theoretical approach during the first week and a more practical approach during the second week: after an introduction focusing on the ICT issues related to language teaching, and after an in-depth analysis of methodological and technical aspects related to the use of media, the module will offer lab activities and teaching practice.
