Abstract

The importance of digital literacies for adult language learners from migrant and refugee backgrounds has been widely recognized. However, there is relatively limited conceptual and practical guidance for practitioners. To address this concern, we developed a pedagogical framework and a practical guide for teachers in the Adult Migrant English Program in Australia. The conceptual framework brought together four well-established bodies of scholarly work and formed the four principles for teaching digital literacies: (1) authentic learning contexts, (2) problem-based learning, (2) strengths-based approaches, and (4) multidimensional practices. To unpack the framework for practical use, we then developed a guide, which reflected these principles and offered teaching ideas. This paper describes the conceptualization of the pedagogical framework and reports on a multiple case study which sought to gain insight from five English as an Additional Language (EAL) teachers on the efficacy of the framework and guide. The findings suggest that while there was a reasonable level of understanding of the framework and guide and many rich learning experiences were created , in practice some teachers experienced challenges in actuating some principles of the framework. The article concludes with implications for teachers' self-directed learning with the help of this resource and future research.

调查AMEP数字文学框架和指南对成人EAL设置的有效性
数字文学对来自移民和难民背景的成年语言学习者的重要性已得到广泛认可。然而,对从业者的概念和实践指导相对有限。为了解决这一问题,我们为澳大利亚成人移民英语项目的教师制定了一个教学框架和实用指南。该概念框架汇集了四个公认的学术机构,并形成了数字文学教学的四个原则:(1)真实的学习环境,(2)基于问题的学习,(3)基于优势的方法,以及(4)多维实践。为了便于实际使用,我们制定了一份指南,其中反映了这些原则并提供了教学思路。本文描述了教学框架的概念化,并报告了一项多案例研究,该研究试图从五名英语作为附加语言(EAL)教师那里了解框架和指南的有效性。研究结果表明,尽管对框架和指南有着合理的理解,并创造了许多丰富的学习经验,但在实践中,一些教师在执行框架的一些原则方面遇到了挑战。文章最后指出,借助这一资源和未来的研究对教师的自主学习具有启示意义。
