2. Space management

Spaces: Where generations of teachers see boundaries and barriers, generations of students see new opportunities for articulation and networking.

Z and α generations	Opportunities	Inspirations
*Need for guidance*	*Develop students’ sociolinguistic skills* and foster the responsible use of digital communication	08. Regulate communication: Detail work instructions methodically, define a question and answer space and work submission space, set communication rules (language register, interaction methods, etc.). You can e.g. offer students the opportunity to write letters to/with isolated elderly people.
*Need for feedback*	*Split the online class* to promote online interaction	09. Maximise interaction: Optimise interaction spaces to give each student the maximum opportunity possible to interact orally (virtual class) and in writing (chat, forum) with the teacher and other students. Students need feedback.
*Learning how to make choices*	Let students make choices* and help them justify them*	10. Share readings and playlists (songs, films and series): Build a virtual media library. Students are asked to justify their choices and formulate an opinion on their favourite works in the form of pop-up bubbles.
*Need for interaction*	Create a digital space for online encounters* with foreign correspondents*	11. Strengthen interaction and mediation: Moderation, reciprocal mentoring, etc. there are many ways to use a common platform. The Twinspace platform (eTwinning) e.g. offers many possibilities. See also EOL matrix field 3.1. “Learning with others”
*Need to feel secure*	*Standardise tools and spaces* used within the teaching team of a class	12. Clearly delimit spaces and uses: Choose with the pupils a tool per need: a tool for teaching (video teaching, synchronous exchange space), a tool for asynchronous communication (email, forum, etc.), a space deposit (padlet, etc.)… Learn to cooperate with other teachers with the EOL tool “Team teaching”
*Self-initiative*	Help the student identify* immediately what to do and how*	13. Combine things: Articulate the proposed activity with a tutorial (work method, writing method, video tutorial, etc.), a framework (textbook, dictionary, guide, list, etc.) and a response space (Word file, table, drop space, etc.) Foster cross-subject approaches with the EOL tool “Teaching potential”
*Need to expand one’s horizon*	*Enhance compassion* and help students understand otherness	14. Escape the effects of confinement: Make students travel in time (historical perspective) and in space (discovery of other places and cultures) especially in narrative forms (Bildungsroman, road movie, etc.), expand their horizon by networking with a partner class abroad.
