Degree: Technology-Mediated Language Teaching and Learning

The aim of the online Master's Degree in Technology-Mediated Language Teaching and Learning is to provide students with a theoretical foundation so that they can understand how languages are learned through technology and with a broad range of practical skills so that they can apply educational technology to improve language teaching and learning.

The programme prepares students to work in the field of language teaching and related areas (authors and editors of online language learning resources, digital platform consultants, etc.) by showing them how to apply technology to improve language teaching and learning.

The growing presence of ICT in language learning and in the language classroom requires up-to-date professionals who are familiar with the latest advances and applications. The demand for professionals with these skills will no doubt continue to grow not only in Spain, but also in Europe, as well as in emerging countries, as the use of educational technologies spreads around the world.

The aim of this master's programme is to familiarize students with different ways of integrating technology into language teaching in order to make teaching more effective, attractive and motivating. Students will become familiar with different techniques: from gamification and the design of tasks for different pedagogical approaches - Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) and Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) - to online collaborative work and the provision of feedback.

Students graduating from this programme at UOC will be equipped with conceptual and methodological criteria to be able to carefully select technological solutions and with innovative ideas to be able to develop and assess communicative competence
in online environments.
