Interview met mij in Georgië ციფრული წიგნიერების შესახებ

10/02/2021 Comments 0 Comment

(Nederlands/ English) Deze week is er in Georgië een interview met mij verschenen over digitale geletterdheid in het talenonderwijs. Het interview is verschenen in het online tijdschrift van de National Teacher Professional Development Centre, Internet Journal Mastsavlebeli.ge, en afgenomen door Paata Papava, een lerarenopleider en onderwijsexpert. Het interview vond plaats in de zomer 2019 in Tbilisi tijdens mijn solo motorreis naar de Kaukasus. Hier de Georgische versie, goed voor je taalgevoel. Een preprint versie in het Engels kan worden opgevraagd bij mij. Succes 😉
