Innovation in Language Learning

Teaching and learning systems have implemented ICT features to a certain extent onto all levels of education for  the last 20 years. Blended learning, online learning, mobile education applications are some of common approches used even  for earning a degree in various branches around the world these days. ICT is often  used for developing both students´ and teachers´ competences within a life-long education process too. Are teachers and students prepared for effective and wise using of ICT? Is ICT something that should be deployed more and more into learning-teaching process to assist students and/or teachers to improve their competences and skills? Do not we miss more human touch in education? How can teachers cope with ICT implementation into education?

This contribution aims at mapping and describing ICT tools used within an ERASMUS+ project focusing on exchange of good CLIL practice among European language and content teachers on Primary and Secondary level of education. At first, the e-modular training course for developing CLIL teacher competences is presented. Then experience with building the project web platform and using cloud environment for partners´ cooperation are outlined. Next, some pitfalls of ICT learning environment are discussed.  Finally, some recommendations and ideas are proposed how to utilize ICT in teaching-learning environment on different levels of education.
