Summary
In this open webinar, we will present results from the recent Digital Competence Assessment Survey and Job Market Analysis, both recently completed in the DC4LT project.
The survey assessed how language teachers use digital technologies, their attitude towards these technologies, their related skills and competencies, their satisfaction and required improvement, and the institutional support they receive. The survey was answered by 267 language teachers from 43 countries.
We will also present the results of a job market study for language teachers, which we conducted to explore the employers’ expectations in addition to the teachers’ perspective. We collected 854 job announcements for language teachers from 11 countries to check if the policies in digitalization and education have a direct impact on language teaching jobs.
