Advanced digital competences for language teacher training

This paper outlines a post-graduate training program for the development of advanced digital competences, aimed at teachers of Italian L2. In particular, it describes the educational structure, the training methods, and the developed competences in relation to the frameworks outlined by the DigCompEdu, a recent European document proposing a model of digital competences for educators at all levels of education. The contribution also presents the results of an investigation aimed at assessing the perceived adequacy of the training methods adopted in the post-graduate program and the actual impact on the practical application of the competences acquired by the participants.
