X-PRESS@'T: THE SOUND EDUCATIONAL USE FOR THE IMPROVEMENT AND TRANSFER OF THE LEARNING OF THE ORAL LANGUAGE IN PLURILINGUAL CONTEXT
2007/ARIE/00058
2008 - 2009
Educational centers are currently faced with the great professional challenge of managing the diversity and social and cultural complexity that exists, to make it an opportunity for improvement and collective growth.
Language, an essential element, becomes a channel of communication and cohesion, which is the backbone of this multilingual and multicultural society. Within this context, the innovation project "X-press @" T is marked as a priority objective to improve the learning of the oral language from the didactic use of sound (podcasting) and at the same time enhance the transfer of these lessons in the different linguistic areas. Starting with the creation of a multidisciplinary research team (University, Secondary, Primary, EOI) and the direct involvement of educational institutions (Inspection, Language Service - SGLIC - and ICE), we propose to start a transversal process that aims to be a pioneer in the use of the Podcast in order to generate new models that allow us to achieve standards of quality and improvement in the learning of the oral language through proposals of classroom activities.

1. Reflect on what and how to teach and learn oral language in the digital era. Deepen in the relevant methodology and guide the teaching staff and students in the process of adaptation to the new media.
2. Encourage innovation and educational research in primary, secondary and EOI centers with regard to the use of sound in the teaching and learning of languages in order to obtain better results from the students.
3. Develop the communicative competence of students inside and outside the classroom through the use of sound.
4. Encourage the use of ICT in the classroom in a multilingual context.
5. Evaluate the impact index of podcasting in the classroom and assess the suitability and effectiveness of its use in order to carry out future research and application actions.
6. Promote the collaboration and the joint construction of knowledge among the participants of the project through networks of cooperation and the creation and consolidation of virtual communities of learning.
7. To establish bridges of dialogue and common networks of collaboration between the University, institutions such as the Linguistic Services and the Foreign Languages Inspection to share and exchange knowledge and resources in the context of teaching and learning oral language in multilingual contexts.
This is a practical project, based on cooperative work among all the agents that are part of it. The practical methodology implies that each component of each group of educational level (primary, secondary, EOI and university) apply and test the innovative materials in their classroom. From sharing these experiences with the entire group, communication and materials are extended to other groups that make up the macro or global level, in order to configure an innovative virtual community that uses all the potentialities that the contents of podcasting can contribute to an improvement in the quality of oral language teaching.
