Innovation: Avenues for Future Teaching

This initiative brings together a broad array of perspectives to explore diversity and equity both as  concepts and a methods in digital educational settings.

Main thematic clusters are:

•What are the theoretical foundations on which digital teaching and e-learning are built?
•How does digitalization affect or enhance research on and conceptualizations of diversity and equity across the fields of linguistics, literary and  (visual) cultural  studies, and TEFL?
•How do e-learning concepts support foreign language teachers in handling heterogeneous learner groups in classrooms or responding to the particular abilities and needs of learners? 

Forum:

We provide the opportunity for establishing fruitful connections between practitioners, researchers, and future teachers through 

•a platform which affords teachers & researchers to build tandems in response to specific training needs or research questions
•an annual virtual symposium
•a citavi-archive
•calls for papers & conference announcements

Kontakt: Dr. Saskia Schabio

Sustainability

Emerging from the vibrant Community of Practice initiated by the BMBF-project Heterogenität & Digitalisierung and an international conference held in 2023 we are looking forward to future invigorating interdisciplinary exchange.
