Digital Creative Methods Contribute to Teaching Through Collaborative Schemes

Abstract

Aim. This article aims to explore the impact of shared virtual classrooms and landscape linguistics on English as a foreign language (EFL) students' learning. The study also intends to contribute to the understanding of the effects of transnational partnerships and innovative teaching models on higher education. Methods. The methodology involves case studies, co-teaching activities, and debate topics to provide practical illustrations of innovative teaching methods. The research explores the possibilities of micro-collaborations between universities and analyses the role of established platforms like the teaching innovation lab, multilingualism, interculturality and language lab, and community of practice for early career researchers. Results. The research unfolds within four established platforms, each playing a key role in progressing activities developed by knowledge hubs and extending their impact across institutional boundaries. Virtual platforms, staff training, and co-teaching approaches have been explored and implemented in universities, contributing to the improvement of education and the access of researchers, academics, and students. The collaboration between students from Albania and Poland is presented as a practical illustration of the innovative methods discussed. Conclusion. The paper recommends creating online learning environments, increasing capacities, and collaborative approaches. It suggests training programmes to open doors to educational ecosystems, ultimately improving education and accessibility for researchers, academics, and students. The integration of technology is emphasized to enhance the academic experience and to stimulate creative techniques of cooperative international teaching. The study concludes with a call for increased collaboration, networking opportunities, and the development of a common perspective educational ecosystem.
