An Exploration of the Potential Role of Digital Technologies for Promoting Learning in Foreign Language Classrooms: Lessons for a Pandemic

Abstract: This research study focuses on long-term digital technologies assisted cross-cultural communication as an instructional model. Secondary school foreign language learners of German and English collaborated online with the same age-cohort peers to acquire new cultural knowledge, as well as develop digi-tal technologies skills. Findings revealed that digital technologies facilitated personalised student-led learning through an inquiry-based approach. Results further indicated that the learners had rich opportunit… Show more

“…So far, studies on the implementation of online learning during the COVID-19 period have two general trends. First, courses that are online learning at a normative level, both concerning user perceptions [7], implementation [8][9][10][11][12], as well as the technology platform, used [13,14]. The second trend is related to evaluation [15], including how the impact of online learning, barriers, and relevant educational policy models [16][17][18][19].…”

“…As Figure 4 shows, there were a number of studies that did focus on a specific discipline. For example, Sintema (2020) investigated potential effects of COVID‐19 on STEM education in Zambia, and Masterson (2020) researched the role of digital technologies in foreign language instruction in Ireland during the pandemic. Meeting the needs of both subject matter specific and more general curricular areas during ERE needs to be researched to inform scholars and teachers alike.…”

“…Gradually the profiling method with different sets of tools including those implying use of digital technology gained popularity and was applied in other human life spheres: aviation and banking [8][9][10]; human resource management [11; 12]; marketing [13]; education [14][15][16][17]; ethnic issues [18][19][20].…”

“…In education the profiling method is used to make digital profiles of the learning process participants. Digital profiles of the learning process participants facilitate solving the problem of insufficient analytical substantiation for taking pedagogical and management decisions [16]. For instance, in secondary education use of digital technology to gather and process information on the participants helps to build students' digital profiles which display data for tracing an individual development pathway of each student and for comparing their performance to the average figures of the class, group or an educational institution.…”
