Abstract

This chapter focuses on transformative learning and digital literacies/online education in the context of second and foreign language teacher preparation. Building upon research begun in Village Voices, Global Visions: Digital Video as a Transformative Foreign Language Learning Tool (Goulah, 2007b), this chapter describes a graduate bilingual-bicultural education seminar coupling transformative learning theory and digital literacies for pre- and in-service teachers in Chicago, Illinois, in the United States. The author examines how transformative learning and digital literacies/online education can be applied to language education and considers specific theory-to-practice means for teachers of culturally and linguistically diverse students to conceptualize, critique and resist planetary trends and meet the needs of English language learners across the curriculum through digital literacies.
