This project builds on the work of the highly successful Fit for Digital Linguistic Education Erasmus+ project (2020-2023: https://www.fit4digiline.eu/). The same group of dedicated project partners from Finland, Austria, Italy, Greece and Spain are keen to help language teachers in the adult education sector further develop their digital competences, and to make use of new technologies in their teaching work.
Many of the project results will be of value to teachers in other areas and at other levels too.
The main aims of the new EMPOWER project are:
- To expand the use of digital assessment and feedback tools in language teaching;
- To increase inclusion and accessibility, with a particular focus on differentiation and supporting learners with special needs;
- To promote digital resilience and media literacy for both teachers and learners;
- To promote the uptake of new technologies, such as AI, in language education.
