Integrating Digital Literacy Into English Language Instruction

This resource is specially designed to provide practical ideas and suggestions for instructors who recognize the ever-increasing need of all adult learners to develop digital literacy skills. In this resource, developing digital literacy is always integrated into relevant, effective instruction as a tool to learning and functioning in real-life situations with which students will be confronted. In the explanations and examples provided, technology is introduced into instruction not merely because it may be new or different but in response to clearly defined course and lesson objectives. The intention is to offer numerous practical examples that can serve as a starting place for instructors who are looking to enhance English language acquisition (ELA) instruction while addressing an important need of their students.
