ICT ENHANCED LEARNING - BENEFITS AND DIDACTIC CHALLENGES IN A LANGUAGE AND COMMUNICATION COURSE FOR ADULT IMMIGRANTS

摘要

The aim of this project was to bring about knowledge about how adults with deficient language and ICT skills could take advantage of the potentiality of ICT in language learning. Unfortunately we have to face the fact that data from this case-study reveals little of what we were looking for. ICT was used at a minimum, and the lecturers did not give learning and exploring ICT as a pedagogical tool priority. In other words, they did not follow up the intensions of the course. However, it is interesting to note that the participants identified the tasks where they applied ICT, as most useful to language development. Digital storytelling and logging were considered as relevant to their working life, and therefore mostly motivating and engaging.
