In this regard, both the approaches to teaching foreign languages should be reconsidered, and also training programs that meet the requirements of future specialists should be created. One of the possible ways out is to use the competence-based approach, i.e., forming a set of special competences in future professionals to solve practical problems. For training a competitive IT-specialist, in teaching foreign languages it is necessary to form a number of language subcompetences in students that are on the basis of their professional competence. The proposed model can be used for teaching any foreign language, where the language component is invariable, and is filled with professional content.展开更多

In this context, digital literacy has become an essential competency for educators. Grounded in Yoram Eshet-Alkalai’s five-dimensional framework of digital literacy-photo-visual literacy, reproduction literacy, branching literacy, information literacy, and socio-emotional literacy-this study explores the meaning, features, significance, and application of digital literacy for foreign language teachers in Chinese universities. Moreover, this paper uses several cases to elucidate how these five dimensions manifest in the professional practices of foreign language teachers in Chinese universities. Through clarifying what their digital literacy is, what dimensions it has, and what it can do, this study aims to provide theoretical foundations and practical insights for a comprehensive understanding and effective application of digital literacy for foreign language teachers in Chinese universities.展开更多
