The present project can be identified as belonging to Modality number 6:
didactic materials included in the rules established by Jaume I University. This
particular modality refers to the creation of singular didactic materials, educational
innovations as well as technological resources which can be exploited in an educational
context.
In this particular case, a series of didactic materials have been created to
reinforce the learning of English skills through the reiterated employment of digital
dictionaries, to foster their use. In the present case, the elaborated didactic materials
belong to the English subject taught in 4
th grade of ESO in IES “Els Ports”, Morella.
On the one hand, through the development of the whole set of activities we
pretend to break with the traditional methodology of teaching grammar, vocabulary and
the different skills. In order to strengthen this teaching and learning process students
increase their use of Communication and Information Technologies (ICTs) since they
have to make a proper use of technological equipment and the affordances it brings into
language learning.
On the other hand, the creation and preparation of these activities aims at
examining the use of two particular online dictionaries in depth, since all of them do not
exhibit the same information and all e-dictionaries do not present information in the
same way.
Moreover, the lack of activities in textbooks requiring students to use online
dictionaries is a reality since the textbook employed in IES “Els Ports” to teach English
does not exhibit these exercises, or whether they exist, the statement implies to use a
dictionary if needed, without being more specific and without being a requirement.
Finally, the assessment will not follow the usual process, in contexts in which
students have to sit in front of a final exam because all the activities are complementary
to the first unit of the book. In this sense, each activity will receive a 5% within the unit,
so that, 10 dictionary activities will account for five points in the unit. In the same way,
several methods will be used in order to evaluate the activities: field notes through
direct observation in the classroom, material/task delivery and rubrics. [-]
