Digital empowerment in language teaching

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Primary languages can make an important contribution to the aims of the Curriculum and Assessment Review Group. Drawing on our Digital Empowerment in Language Teaching (DELTEA) research project, we show how digital technology can enhance teacher competence and confidence while developing children's linguistic skills alongside crucial 21st-century competencies such as creativity and empathy. We argue that primary languages education can play a vital role in the Review's vision for developing in all learners’ essential skills for modern life, when supported by appropriate digital tools and investment.
