What is the project about?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The DELTEA project examines the role of technology in foreign language teaching and learning in the primary school.<\/p>\n

It aims to enable a step-change in foreign language teaching and learning in the primary school by\u00a0investigating, in its first phase, whether digital professional development can support teacher learning and affect teacher motivation to teach primary languages. In its second phase, as part of a classroom intervention using app-based phonics and digital storytelling, DELTEA will track children\u2019s foreign language learning and the development of creativity and empathy.\u00a0\u00a0In the final phase of the project, researchers and teacher-partners will co-create to produce a professional development Massive Online Open Course (MOOC) and evaluate teacher motivational outcomes.<\/p>\n

Who is running the project?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The project is being run by Dr Alison Porter at the University of Southampton in collaboration with Professor Suzanne Graham<\/a> and Dr Pengchong (Anthony) Zhang<\/a> at the University of Reading.<\/p>\n

Who is funding the project?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The project is funded by UK Research and Innovation: Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) as part of their Education Research Programme<\/a>.<\/p>\n
