Technology in Language Learning and Teaching: KOO-KIT Study Programme

What? What is KOO-KIT?
KOO-KIT is a study programme that focuses on integrating technology in language teaching and learning. It is organised by the Centre for Applied Language Studies at the University of Jyväskylä. KOO-KIT is part of a national KIT-network. The ongoing year 2005-2006 is the fifth KOO-KIT year.

Why? What is the goal?

The aim of the study programme is to develop new forms of teacher expertise. We do this through providing skills, knowledge and awareness needed for a successful integration of new thinking, new technologies and new approaches to teaching and learning languages.

What content areas?
The study programme is 20 - 40 study point (ECTS) programme. Integrating technology in language learning and teaching calls for new perspectives in developing electronic learning materials, as well as benefitting from the learning environments avialable and knowledge on lanaguage assessment.

What working modes?

We link theory to practice through project based learning in collaboration with the Jyväskylä University Language Centre and the Department of Languages.

For whom is KOO-KIT intended? Where can you study?
The study programme is tailored for undergraduate students, more specifically for tomorrow’s languauge teachers and those who are interested in various educational careers, applied linguistics and new technologies. Students from other universities can apply for admission to the programme through the national KIT network. All students are required to participate in the weekly teaching sessions in Jyväskylä. Unfortunately no distance participation is possible for the time being.
