DILECTINGS aims to enhance and expand Digital Literature Literacy (DLL) and Literature Digital Reading (LDR) skills in European schools by developing, assessing, and sharing digital competencies among educators and students. The project seeks to establish sustainable infrastructure, resources, and guidelines to support DLL and LDR, fostering ICT skills alongside reading, language, and cultural competencies. By strengthening these skills at the primary and lower-secondary levels, DILECTINGS also aims to facilitate a smoother transition between educational cycles, ensuring students and teachers are equipped for the evolving digital learning landscape. In concrete, the project achieved to: • Develop an innovative pedagogical framework for digital literature literacy. • Create a European online learning platform for DLL and LDR skills. • Train in-service teachers through pilot programs and workshops. • Design a smart toolkit for assessment and implementation of digital literature. • Publish an eBook with pedagogical guidelines for schools.
DILECTINGS was developed to address the growing need for digital literacy in foreign/second-language teaching within European schools. The project responds to the lack of pedagogical resources for Digital Literature Literacy (DLL) and Literature Digital Reading (LDR), particularly in multilingual and intercultural settings. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the urgency for teachers to develop digital competencies to create inclusive, engaging learning environments. Digital literature, an interactive narrative form across various media, remains underexplored in research, necessitating a systematic overview of its impact on reading practices. Aligned with European educational policies, DILECTINGS aims to equip teachers and students with tools to enhance digital reading skills, foster intercultural understanding, and strengthen ICT competencies. By addressing the evolving reader-text relationship, the project supports the pedagogy of reading in multilingual contexts, promoting accessibility and inclusion.
