WHAT DOES DIGITAL LITERACY MEAN?
That depends.
30 years ago, digital literacy meant you were able to turn on a computer,
and to use the internet you'd need to know what an acoustic coupler is.
These days you need to know
how to evaluate messages on the internet.
Beyond that, it's probably something
that doesn't exist in the singular.
It also includes being able
to think about things that happen.
It also includes
being able to read and write things.
For example, reading the code of a website.
It's not only a competence of ability, a manual skill,
it's in principle an attitude,
an attitude of orientation in a digital world.
WHICH COMPETENCES DOES DIGITAL LITERACY INCLUDE?
Firstly, anything connected with reading, writing and communicating.
It also involves thinking,
because every language is a form of thought.
And the digital language is a form of thought too,
a new form that's available to us today.
Aside from that, it includes
everything we associate with it,
from turning on a computer
to using word processing software.
And also networking:
How do we act in social networks? How do we use social networks?
We should at least be able
to co-author phenomena in the digital world,
to help define them,
to create them,
to think about them,
or just to leave them be.
IS DIGITAL LITERACY AN EDUCATION GOAL IN SCHOOLS?
Media competence
comes up more and more frequently in everyday contexts.
There is an education ministry strategy paper titled
"Education in a digital world".
It states specifically
that teachers must have these competences.
It's interesting to note that in recent studies from England
digitalisation is a hot topic,
but when one asks about its relevance in daily life,
it's less of a priority.
WHERE IS DIGITAL LITERACY LOCATED IN THE COMPETENCE MODEL?
It is connected to it, if it is even
part of it all, so to speak.
But this area of competence is certainly not omnipresent.
HOW WILL DIGITAL LITERACY AND OTHER COMPETENCES BE LINKED IN FUTURE?
No one ever asked me
how the ability to write relates to other abilities.
Although of course it's important
in your professional life.
Digital literacy will be,
or already is, a core competence in the 21st century.
That's for sure.
And it will influence all other competences.
People who operate machines today
will maybe have to be able to re-programme the machine in future.
Digitalization affects more and more areas of life,
and as a consequence
it influences our abilities, competences, and ways of thinking.
WHY IS DIGITAL LITERACY IMPORTANT FOR LEARNING FOREIGN LANGUAGES?
We now have many opportunities to actively learn foreign languages
compared to 20, 30 years ago.
We can hold video conferences.
It's no effort at all.
Learning new words when reading texts has become much easier.
If I'm reading an English text and don't know a word,
I can just click on it
and find a definition or a translation,
and the word is automatically stored in my flashcards so that I can
learn it when practicing vocabulary.
These are all things that
affect language learning and make it easier, I think.
But it also requires that you know how to do it.
DO TEACHERS NEED TO HAVE FURTHER TRAINING?
The goal of teacher training is successful learning.
And nowadays there are new tools, methods
and new contexts in the digital domain.
And that must play a key role in teacher training.
It must be a fundamental aspect.
I wish people didn't always say, "Digitality in biology class",
but rather just "modern biology lessons".
The optimal way to learn
a foreign language is in the real world.
A space in which there are foreign-language books,
where it's possible to work on a computer
with apps, or maybe links, that offer tips and information.
But also where we can have video conferences
and connect with other people.
So basically
to create a linguistic space
in which we can work together using all our resources,
both old and new.
Where you can find teachers, communication partners,
or even daily newspapers.
In principle, a makerspace for languages.
