Over the last decades, the world has been constantly immersed in a dramatic digital and global
transformation. This has led to new needs to be met by the field of education, especially language
education, as citizens are interconnected sharing thoughts and ideas in different languages all over
the world. This has supposed an increase in motivation for learning foreign languages. Due to this
situation, it is necessary to teach young students the importance of using technology properly as well
as the numerous benefits it provides.
Accordingly, the Council of Europe developed several aims and objectives to train its citizens
for a successful life work. Several projects have been elaborated during the last years in different
levels of education to foster the importance of being plurilingual and digital competent. Different
methodologies and approaches as Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) have been
spread all over the world to accomplish the Council of Europe goals. The present study is carried out
in a Spanish secondary education school, placed in Castellon, where 29 students of 4th of ESO from
IES Penyagolosa, have been the participants of this study.
The aim of this master dissertation is to implement, design, and discuss a task proposal taken
from the European K2+ TEMPLATE Project1 which includes the use of technology to promote
plurilingualism in the EFL secondary classroom. Therefore, it is considered to be an educational
improvement modality which consists of the implementation of a task to improve the use of
technology in an EFL classroom as well as to advance plurilingual competence by developing
structural transferences between languages.
This Master Thesis has three objectives: 1) to test to what extent the task is effective in terms
of promoting students’ plurilingual competence, 2) to prove to what extent the task is effective in
terms of promoting students’ digital competence and, 3) to test task effectiveness in terms of language
learning (i.e., linguistic contents from the curriculum included in the proposed activities) and genreawareness (i.e., the structure of biography). The results of the implementation is further discussed in
section 4. [-]
