DIGICOMPASS in Practice (Grades 4–12): A Planning Compass for Global Language Education

This webinar introduces DIGICOMPASS and DIGICOMPASS Junior, teacher-facing planning frameworks for global language education across Grades 4–12. At the center is global citizenship, supported by four interconnected domains: digital literacy, inclusive practices, intercultural competence, and awareness of social strategies. The session will show how this planning compass helps teachers bring together well-established theories, practices, and pedagogies into coherent classroom design. Participants will see how existing units can be adapted to make tasks, supports, and evidence of learning more visible through a practical classroom example based on an SDG-aligned OER lesson.
