Chapter 9Developing online language teacher identities
Interdisciplinary insights
Informed by the other studies of the volume, this chapter argues
that online language teacher education (OLTE) should make five
considerations in reconceptualizing curricula and provides examples of
learning activities that address each. First it should acknowledge that
online digital language use differs considerably from in-person language
equivalents, and second, that technology knowledge includes not only how to
teach online but what digital language use is. Third, it should recognize
that learners and teachers have modern techno-identities developed not only
in their academic but their everyday lives as well. Fourth, it should
leverage the power of the Internet to develop translanguacultural awareness
and fifth, recognize that social presence is key to socio-collaborative
learning, both in-person and online.
Keywords: online language teacher education, digital language use, techno-identities, languaculture, transcultural awareness, social presence
