Reading, Speaking, and Writing Through Children’s Literature, Digital Technology, and Mastery of Written Language and Culture in School

  • Teaching literature using digital technology (interactive whiteboards, computers, tablets).
    Developing a prototype of educational and digital enhancements for children’s novels to support the teaching of literary reading, text comprehension, and language proficiency, and to facilitate a reader-centered approach.
  • Create two lesson plans based onthe novels *Le mot interdit*(J’aime lire Bayard)and *Rêves amers*(Je bouquine Bayard series), which include the literary work itself, a detailed lesson plan (provided by LIRDEF), the option to create your own lesson plan using activity templates and worksheets on characters, events, places, and time, a reader’s journal, and a space to store resources.
  • Testing each pilot project in the field (70 classes involved) during two periods: Jan.–Feb. 2017, March–April 2017
    The project brings together a consortium comprising:
    – industry partners and software publishers: Bic / Tralalère / Bayard
    – research laboratories: Lirdef / L3i / Les Gobelins
    – institutional representatives: the Créteil, Lille, and Montpellier school districts
    – Canopé Créteil
  • Target student group: Cycle 3 – transition between Cycles 2 and 3 (from CE2 to 6ème).
  • Funding: Ministry of National Education (MEN) – Public Investment Bank.
  • A 3-year doctoral contract associated with the project.

Objectives

  • In the context of literature instruction and language proficiency, describe how educational technology is used when it has been designed by educational researchers to support teachers’ professional practices.
  • Describe and analyze students’ reading behavior based on a record of their school (and even extracurricular) activities.
  • Describe teachers’ reported practices regarding the reading of a long work, based on a logbook.
  • Correlate reported practices with actual practices, using data collected from the demonstrator, to describe instructional choices in light of recent research in the pedagogy of literature.
