Inspired by TPACK
1. TPACK means: Technological, Pedagogical And Content Knowledge
2. It is a model to help integrate the use of technology in teaching and learning
3. It is not prescriptive but aims to explain the relationship between content, pedagogy and technology
10
Technological Pedagogical Knowledge: Knowing how ICT affects subject teaching methodologies
Pedagogical Content Knowledge: Know-how about subject specific pedagogy & methodologies
Technological Content Knowledge: Realising how ICT influences how subject matter can be acquired.
The premises of TPACK
• Teachers do have content knowledge, they teach about it
• Teachers do have pedagogical knowledge and experience, they use it while teaching
• Teachers should have ICT knowledge, so they can use it when teaching
• These three ‘knowledges’ should be available to them as integrated set

According to Bernie Dodge:
“There are at least two reasons that the World Wide Web is an exciting development for educators:
• Using the Web breaks down the walls that separate schools from everything else.
• Using the Web forces active learning.”
Why the Web?
17
Active learning
In Dodge´s own words active learning involves:
«putting our students in situations which compel them to read, speak, listen, think deeply, and write.
Active learning puts the responsibility of organizing what is to be learned in the hands of the learners themselves, and ideally lends itself to a more diverse range of learning styles.»

WebQuest structure
1. Introduction: orientation & motivation
2. Task: what?
3. Process: how?
4. Resources: which information?
5. Evaluation: which criteria?
6. Conclusion: what have you learnt
& and how to consolidate?

WebQuests in Language Ed.?
• The WQ-model can well accommodate current SLA-views and MFL methodology - learner-centredness, active learning, focus on learning strategies
• It can help MFL teachers to: - relate learning to the real world
- enhance & (partly) replace textbook-based learning
- support transdiscipline curriculum activities
21
Why a Project specifically for MFL?
Koenraad & Westhoff, 2003
22
Project Rationale
• 1. Support for what is a triple innovation for most in-service teachers: – Change in language pedagogy
– extending skills: ICT and assessment & design of materials
– acquiring new or other classroom and task management skills
• 2. And … related competences development is not widely available in initial Teacher Ed.
