Between Innovation, Media and Technology: Exploring New Horizons in the Teaching of French as a Foreign Language

Abstract

This is a review of a collective volume published in 2024, edited by Mercedes Eurrutia Cavero and Aránzazu Gil Casadomet, which explores innovative uses of media and technology in the teaching of French as a Foreign Language in the digital age. The book brings together twelve contributions by women researchers, combining theoretical reflections with concrete experiments: integration of AI, multimedia devices, digital storytelling, interactive tools, and collaborative learning. Emphasis is placed on a pedagogy grounded in students’ real-world contexts. Richly illustrated with resources and practical examples, the volume is intended for anyone seeking to renew their foreign-language teaching practices. It thus offers a stimulating reflection on the role of technologies in fostering more critical and creative learning.
