About

The main objective of the DigiLTE project is to digitally transform language teacher education practices in the partnering institutions and beyond by systematically drawing on data-informed evidence that the DigiLTE project team retrieves from the conversation analytic investigations into the actual higher education language classrooms. The DigiLTE project, therefore, sets out to create a video-based, digitally-enhanced, data-led, and evidence-based language teacher education environment.

The DigiLTE project activities include collecting, transcribing, analysing, cataloguing, and processing higher education language classroom interaction data; transforming the catalogued classroom videos into language teacher education materials coupled with target-specific lectures and activities; and operationalizing the project results in actual language teacher education settings through video-mediated transnational lesson co-designs for practicum teaching followed by reflection practices.  The main results of the DigiLTE project are a digital catalogue of language classroom interaction, the production of the DigiLTE environment in order to digitally transform language teacher education with data-informed evidence; and an original language teacher education model operationalizing the contents and components of the DigiLTE environment in higher education settings to evaluate the project results through digital co-design, practicum teaching, and reflection procedures.
