Introduction to Active Language Learning: Developing Digital Literacy in a Collaborative Virtual Environment

In this article, we would like to present the results of a pedagogical experiment carried out in a university context in Portugal and in France. The aim of this experiment is to introduce students to active methodologies through a three-step pedagogical approach: i) literature search of five scientific articles on a selected active methodology (flipped pedagogy, project-based learning or game-based learning, among others); ii) restitution of this literature search in the form of a mind map; iii) elaboration of an audiovisual pitch and design of an online teaching-learning scenario related to the selected active methodology. By mobilizing a wide range of digital tools, the students are introduced to new teaching-learning spaces that involve a productive dialogue between research and practice in language didactics in the digital age. © 2022 APLIUT.
