Digicompass: Navigating Digital Multiliteracies in Global Language Education

By Sonia Rocca

This book addresses the urgent need for an educational framework that integrates digital multiliteracies with global competence. As technology reshapes how we communicate, learn, and work, educators face the challenge of preparing students not just academically but as informed, ethical participants in a digital and global community. Furthermore, as classrooms become more culturally diverse, the importance of inclusive practices and intercultural competence cannot be overstated. The author sets out to resolve a gap in current educational practices that often separate technology integration, language learning, and global education into distinct compartments. This separation fails to equip learners with the holistic skill set required in the 21st century. The book proposes a transformative approach that synergizes these elements, presenting a comprehensive curriculum framework designed to cultivate digitally literate, globally competent, and socially responsible individuals. By providing practical strategies, theoretical foundations, and real-world applications, DIGICOMPASS aims to revolutionize global language education. It not only advocates for the integration of adaptive learning technologies and digital multiliteracies but also emphasizes the importance of fostering an inclusive, culturally aware, and ethically engaged learning environment. This comprehensive approach addresses the modern educational landscape's complexities, preparing learners to thrive in a culturally diverse and digitally interconnected world. The book will be of particular interest to educators, curriculum developers, policymakers, and educational technology specialists interested in integrating digital multiliteracies into language education. It will also appeal to scholars and students in the fields of TESOL, educational technology, global education, and curriculum design.
