The use of Digital Media to Promote Language Competence in Foreign Language Teaching

Abstract

Abstract: This article looks at the use of digital media in school teaching to promote oral expression in foreign language classes. As part of a survey carried out in a German-speaking school, the aim is to identify which digital media are used for which didactic purpose and in which phase of the course, in order to ascertain whether the potential of digital media is really being under-exploited as some scientific research claims. Keywords: digital media; oral expression; school; foreign language
