Abstract

Abstract Developing digital literacy and, more recently, digital citizenship is one of the objectives promoted by the major international organisations involved in the education sector. However, in order to integrate digital citizenship into education a thorough understanding of the intended outcomes is required. This is why a meta-analysis of recent texts was carried out. The paper presents the result of this literature review consisting in a structured compilation of all the defining elements that constitute our profile of citizens as users of languages and digital technology. We suggest a way in which to integrate digital citizenship education into language education and describe the socio-interactional pedagogical approach adopted in the context of two projects, elang citizen and Lingu@num. This approach is based on the execution of authentic tasks, referred to as real-world tasks. We also present the results of a questionnaire carried out by teachers who explored these tasks and reported that by engaging in them, language learners can experience authentic communication and action as citizens in the “digital wilds” beyond the classroom walls and develop both their language skills and their digital citizenship.

培训公民成为语言和数字技术的使用者。现实世界的任务是驯服数字世界

发展数字素养，以及最近的数字公民是参与教育部门的主要国际组织所推动的目标之一。然而，为了将数字公民融入教育，需要彻底了解预期的结果。这就是为什么对最近的文本进行荟萃分析的原因。本文介绍了这一文献综述的结果，其中包括构成我们作为语言和数字技术用户的公民概况的所有定义要素的结构化汇编。我们提出了一种将数字公民教育融入语言教育的方法，并描述了在elang citizen和Lingu@num两个项目中采用的社会互动教学法。这种方法基于真实任务的执行，称为真实任务。我们还展示了一份由教师进行的问卷调查的结果，他们探索了这些任务，并报告说，通过参与这些任务，语言学习者可以在课堂之外的“数字荒野”中体验到作为公民的真实交流和行动，并发展他们的语言技能和数字公民身份。
