Digital tasks

The digital tasks in the e-lang citizenship resources address different aspects of digital citizenship and enable learners to reflect on the uses, especially their own uses, of digital technology.

Real-life tasks to tame the 'digital wilds'.

These are tasks to be carried out using participative online platforms that are neither created nor administered by educational institutions and whose purpose is not language learning; in other words, they are carried out in the "digital wilds", i.e. informal online spaces. These may be forums, wikis, online catalogues, etc.

Reflective tasks

The website also offers reflective tasks. These encourage learners to reflect on the practices of internet users and their own use of digital technology.

Before using these tasks, we invite you to take a look at the pages where the worksheets are described. Please note that the worksheets are only suggestions and can be adapted to your specific context. They can also be a source of inspiration for developing your own tasks.

There are 16 resources in total

Wikihow - the world of instructions

You are going to compare different injunctive discourses given on sites like Wikihow. For example, you could choose a theme/topic that you are familiar with and that is highlighted by those around you, and study how this theme/topic is dealt with on Wikihow sites in different languages (e.g. 'sauna').
