This booklet is an introduction to the pedagogical framework developed by the e-lang team (Digital literacy for the teaching and learning of languages). This project (2016-2018) is part of the ECML (European Centre for Modern Languages) programme entitled “Languages at the heart of learning”. The aim of this publication is to clearly define the pedagogical foundations guiding our project on the use of new technologies.

Two main elements underpin our project:
• adopting a socio-interactional approach focusing on the implementation of real-world tasks;
• combining tasks with the use of digital resources in order to help learners develop both their autonomy and lifelong skills.
The implementation of this approach requires that teachers (and ultimately learners):
• know digital resources;
• know how to use them;
• evaluate their potential for language teaching and learning.

In order to do so, both teachers and learners have to develop their own digital literacy. The purpose of the e-lang project is to facilitate this process.
