Digital Competences of Foreign Language Teachers after the COVID-19 Pandemic
Keywords:
pandemic, digital competence, foreign language teachers, remote teaching, distant-learningAbstract
The aim of the article is to present how foreign language teachers assess their digital skills at the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, and what impact the increasing digitization might have on the future of foreign language teaching. Analysis of the survey results shows that foreign language teachers are very good at finding, selecting, and delivering existing learning materials, but somewhat less good at creating their own interactive learning materials and designing complex and problem-based tasks for learners to solve using ICT. They are also relatively good at designing learning activities that promote autonomous learning with ICT. The context in which the participants had developed their digital competence was very specific, so further development of digital competence, especially among learners, requires much encouragement.
