K-12 Preservice Foreign Language Teacher Preparation, Technology Integration into Foreign Language Curricula, Technology Standards, Curriculum DevelopmentAbstract
Using national technology goals and standards, and institutional factors as a framework, this article describes the planning process and the initial phases of the implementation of a model of technology integration into the foreign language preservice teacher education program for K-12 teachers. It also provides suggestions for instructional goals and subject-related content areas for a curricular component on technology for foreign language teachers.
