DEVELOPING MEDIA COMPETENCE IN FUTURE ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHERS THROUGH MODERN DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES
Main Article Content
Abstract
In an increasingly digital world, media competence has emerged as a crucial skill for educators. This article explores media competence in the context of English language teacher education, emphasizing why future English teachers must be adept with modern digital tools – from artificial intelligence applications to internet-based platforms and social media. We define what media competence entails for English language pedagogy and explain its importance in today’s globalized educational environment. The analysis covers contemporary tools such as AI-assisted writing software, multimedia content creation tools, and online collaboration and social networking platforms, examining how they can be leveraged in language teaching. We also discuss practical strategies for enhancing media competence during teacher training, including curriculum integration, hands-on digital projects, and critical media literacy exercises.
