On the 10th of May 2025, Catherine Jeanneau, from the ECML training and consultancy team focusing on fostering digital citizenship through language education, delivered a plenary presentation and two workshops. These presentations showcased the material developed by the e-lang citizen team. They showed that the language classroom offers many opportunities to enable learners to develop their digital literacy and to act as digital citizens, in line with some of objectives promoted by major international organisations involved in education, including the Council of Europe.

The sessions examined these opportunities and reviewed research in this field in an attempt to establish what digital literacy and digital citizenship meant, particularly in the context of language teaching and learning.

They then explored concrete pedagogical possibilities for implementing these objectives through a socio-interactional approach based on real-world tasks that enable learners to experience authentic communication and social action beyond the walls of the classroom.

Finally, a number of these tasks were presented. Participants learnt how the tasks can help language users to adopt a new mindset and reflect on the skills they require in order to complete them.
