Prerequisites
General Prerequisites
Prerequisites Students are strongly advised to have attended the module ‘introduction to foreign language teaching theories’, the course on language testing and own a flash disk where they could save the material they construct in class and come to classes with a textbook for Italian leaning.
Learning Outcomes
Course aims and objectives and learning outcomes The primary objective of this course is to assist future teachers of Italian to develop skills (technical and methodological) that would allow them to make appropriate use of electronic material on offer in their teaching. In particular students are instructed how to identify, evaluate, integrate and design electronic material and further how to decode ready-made programs and websites for language teaching. In parallel, the course aims to offer hands-on practice in order for the students to be able to construct their own digital material with a specific methodological background and specific integration techniques. Students are also instructed how to prepare online exercises with authoring programs and make decisions relating to their role in the learning process. In more detail, at the end of the course students should be able to: - Install a computer program, track an internet site and organise their findings - Download and set up software from the net and use if to create their own exercises - Evaluate and decode software dedicated to the teaching of Italian while rethinking for their active role in the learning process - Add support material - Integrate sites in their teaching - Run and use software such as MS FRONT PAGE or DESKTOP AUTHOR At the end of the course each student should have saved the work s/he has created in a flash disk for future reference and development.
General Competences
  • Apply knowledge in practice
  • Adapt to new situations
  • Work autonomously
  • Work in teams
Course Content (Syllabus)
Course Description This course aims at training future teachers of Italian in the use of modern technology in foreign language teaching. Initially a brief historical background to Computer Assisted Language Learning is offered with insides from various projects that have taken place in the field. During the course issues discussed are: a) the integration of Microsoft programs in language teaching, b) evaluation, decoding and integration of ready-made material from websites and CD-ROMs, c) use and integration of electronic non-teaching material for language teaching, d) the use of electronic dictionaries and corpora in language education, e) the teaching of skills with modern technology. In addition, Learning Management Systems (BLACKBOARD) are presented and discussed for the potential these can offer to language education. Electronic tests with authoring programs are also presented (HOT POTATOES, WIDA) as well as social media sites and sites offering environments to create electronic material (BLOGS, WIKIES, FACEBOOK, etc). Opportunities for Computer Mediated Communication are investigated while topics such as the role of the teacher are also discussed. Those students wishing to attend classes of a parallel module offered for the MA students of the department are welcome. Course content/Syllabus The module is deployed in three chapters containing 5 units, each one ending with a quiz. The first and the last units are dedicated to inform students on topics related to the module (description, teaching methods, learning outcomes, assessment, and collaboration). The other units contain lectures, seminars and practice on topics related to the subject. In the lectures the instructor presents and discusses topics related to the subject. The seminars are offered by invited professors or experts form the private sector and students are expected to actively participate. Hands on practice relates with experience in using dedicated or non-dedicated computer software that could be used for language learning purposes. In particular, the topics presented and discussed are: ΕΒΔΟ ΜΑΔΑ ΕΝΟΤΗΤΑ ΘΕΜΑ ΧΩΡΟΣ 1η 1η ΕΙΣΑΓΩΓΗ Module Description, Classes, Modes of collaboration Examination. 2η Theory 2η HISTORY OF CALL, THE NET What is CALL – History of CALL, e-Learning, Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL), Lists of software 3η INDEPENDENT LEARNING PRACTICE 4η Class practice Internet in language education, search engines, storing findings.

Student Assessment
Description
Evaluation methods and scoring procedures Following there are four different approaches to course evaluation: 1) those students who attend classes are invited to participate to three quizzes held during the semester, the average of which will also be the final score. In case of failure these can take the final exam, 2) those who attend from distance are lead to the final examination, 3) those who prepare a research paper do not have to seat in final examinations. Final examinations are related to applications of theories and methods discussed during the course. A list of topics for the final examinations is offered on Blackboard. Marking An excellent exam paper should have: a) the content relevant to the query. Unnecessary data show inability to select the relevant information required for the development of the text, while creating a negative mood to the examiner. 50% of the final grade. b) proper use of the relevant terminology. Correct use of the terms mentioned in the literature. 15% of the final grade. c) consistency in the development of the text. The text provided by the student requires high cohesion. It should be made clear to the examiner how the author reaches conclusions (from A to B and then to C, etc). 15% of the final grade. d) critical view. The opinion of the student in the presentation of the relevant literature on the subject is an asset. 10% of the final grade. e) literature reference. References to articles and views of other authors show knowledge of the literature on the subject. 10% of the final grade.

Bibliography
Course Bibliography (Eudoxus)
Συνιστώμενη βιβλιογραφία προς μελέτη Στο μάθημα αυτό γίνεται χρήση εκτενούς βιβλιογραφίας. Ο στόχος είναι να μελετηθούν όσοι το δυνατόν περισσότεροι συγγραφείς, έτσι ώστε οι φοιτητές να εκτεθούν σε διαφορετικές απόψεις. Αρχικά γίνεται εντοπισμός του θέματος είτε στα περιεχόμενα είτε στο index και στην συνέχεια στις σελίδες που αναφέρονται εκεί. Δεν είναι απαραίτητο να διαβασθεί ολόκληρο το βιβλίο εκτός και αν εντοπισθούν σε αυτό θέματα που εγείρουν το προσωπικό ενδιαφέρον του φοιτητή και δεν συζητούνται στο μάθημα. Αναμφίβολα, η εύρεση νέας βιβλιογραφίας και νέων απόψεων (είτε από συγγραφείς είτε προσωπικές) είναι απόλυτα αποδεκτές και επιθυμητές, εφόσον κατατίθεται με επιχειρήματα (προσωπικά ή από την βιβλιογραφία). Όσοι τους φοιτητές δικαιούνται βιβλία από τον Εύδοξο μπορούν να επιλέξουν αυτό που θεωρούν ότι καλύπτει περισσότερα από τα θέματα που συζητούνται κατά την διάρκεια του εξαμήνου. Παρακαλούνται οι φοιτητές να μην ζητούν την προσωπική παρέμβαση του διδάσκοντα καθώς αυτό είναι αντιδεοντολογικό και προσωπικό τους δικαίωμα. Τα παρακάτω βιβλία και άρθρα βρίσκονται στην βιβλιοθήκη του τμήματος ή σε άλλες βιβλιοθήκες της φιλοσοφικής για χρήση των φοιτητών.

Additional bibliography for study
Recommended basic reading This course uses extensive bibliography. The ultimate goal is for students to study the views of many writers on the same topic. The method of approaching a topic is to initially identify the relevant pages in a book either the contents or the index. It seems not necessary to read the entire book unless it is an introductory book on the subject. Undoubtedly, finding new literature and new views (either of other authors or personal) is perfectly acceptable and desirable, provided it is supported by coherent arguments (personal or from the literature). The following books and articles are in the departmental library or in other libraries. Supplementary material is distributed in class. -Ahmad, K., Corbett, G., Rogers, M., and Sussex, R. (1985).
