Resum

Aquest article parla de the European Digital Kitchen, un projecte d’aprenentatge de llengües amb fons de la UE que promou l’aprenentatge de llengües, cultures i tradicions culinàries mitjançant cuines digitals interactives. El projecte suposa agafar una cuina normal i adaptar-la específicament per a l’aprenentatge de llengües mitjançant tecnologia digital d’última generació, en concret tecnologia de sensors i reconeixement d’activitats. La nostra intenció és que els alumnes puguin aprendre certs aspectes de la llengua mentre duen a terme una tasca real i alhora experimentin la vessant cultural d’aprendre a cuinar un plat estranger.

L’article comença descrivint els antecedents del projecte, incloent-hi la raó de ser, el motiu i els objectius. Tot seguit expliquem en detall com funciona la tecnologia (fent servir fotografies) i descrivim la nostra metodologia de disseny, que combina ensenyament de llengua basat en tasques (TBLT) i interacció persona-ordinador (IPO). A continuació presentem tres fragments d’interacció en la cuina digital per tal d’il·lustrar quina mena d’aprenentatge es duu a terme.

Paraules clau

tecnologia digital, aprenentatge de llengües, ensenyament de llengua basat en tasques (TBLT), interacció persona-ordinador (IPO)
