The materials on this website are designed to help language learners become responsible citizens. The website offers language teachers and language teacher educators a 'portrait' of citizens who use languages and digital technology, a didactic framework for integrating digital citizenship education into language education and a bank of digital tasks that illustrate how to implement the framework.
Portrait of language and digital technology users
A meta-analysis of recent literature paints a picture of citizens who use languages and digital technology. It provides an insight into the objectives of education which is aimed at developing citizens capable of using digital technology in a competent, informed, safe, responsible, ethical and critical manner.

Didactic approach
The ‘portrait’ of citizens who are users of languages and digital technology enables one to specify the objectives of language education that is integrated with education for digital citizenship. The didactic framework defines a socio-interactional approach to this integration.

Bank of digital tasks sheets
Thirty three real-world and reflective tasks are available. The tasks all conform to a didactic framework that promotes a socio-interactional approach and goes beyond the usual types of tasks by including real-life tasks. These tasks, which are designed to be carried out on participatory online platforms, enable learners to experience both authentic (inter)actions and digital citizenship. Alongside these tasks, reflective activities encourage learners to think about online practices and, in particular, their own use of digital technology. The tasks can be adapted to suit the context in which they are to be used and include examples of how to implement the approach defined in the didactic framework.
