Thematic teaching of English as a foreign language combining cross-cultural knowledge and digital media tools through digital storytelling and serious games
Περίληψη
The aim of this paper is to present a thematic English lesson to be delivered on a weekly basis to 12–13-year-old students learning English as a foreign language. Each week a different culture will be selected and presented to the students with the help of some digital tools. The tools used are digital storytelling, animation, serious games - created on the TinyTap online platform - and gamification achieved through the kahoot platform.The aforementioned tools are combined with historical and cultural elements from all over the world in order to simultaneously achieve the learning of English vocabulary but also the learning of English as a foreign language. This lesson plan will be implemented once a week to make the distance learning process more enjoyable and efficient. Once the course has been completed, students will be asked to evaluate this course through questionnaires distributed to them via Google forms in order to provide feedback regarding the improvement of the teaching procedure.
