- Abstract
- The present contribution is situated in the framework of a broad government project (entitled Pacte pour un Enseignement d’Excellence) and is specifically devoted to the learning and teaching of modern languages. Our group has been working on the collection, selection, and validation of innovative tools for foreign language learning targeting all levels of proficiency in compulsory education. The present paper reports on a case study that addresses reading strategies outside the classroom, for Dutch as a foreign language at A1 level, and using a mobile hunt in the Hergé Museum (Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium). The intended outcomes of our case study include i) the promotion of mobile and classroom Open Educational Practices (OEPs) for L2 reading, ii) the development of in-service teachers’ and learners’ digital literacy skills (including among others the co-construction of Open Educational Resources (OERs) and reflective practices on image rights), and iii) the creation of local professional learning communities and communities of practice. The Actionbound mobile app was used for the mobile hunt. The participants involved in the case study include 3 researchers, 1 teacher trainer, 11 pre-service teachers (psT) and 2 classroom groups of Dutch learners (5th year of primary school). The study setup (including both the teacher-training aspects and the activities) is detailed and illustrated, together with the suggestions that emerged from the questionnaires and follow-up focus-group discussions.
