My profile

Dr Joan-Tomàs Pujolà holds a PhD in Applied Linguistics from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. He is a senior lecturer in the Department of Language, Science and Mathematics Education of the Faculty of Education, University of Barcelona (UB). He also coordinates the teaching training programme in relation to the digital competence for Higher Education teachers at the Institute for Professional Development - ICE UB. He has been director of the Masters' degree in Training of Teachers of Spanish as a Foreign Language (UB and Pompeu Fabra University) and co-director of the distance learning version of the same Masters' degree (UNIBA-UB) for several years. He also coordinated the PhD program in Language and Literature Didactics at the Faculty of Education and the teaching innovation group DIDAL_UB (Dynamics of Educational Innovation for Language Learning) at the UB. He is currently the principal investigator of the research group realTIC (Research in teaching and learning languages with ICT). His research focuses on a variety of areas related to Technology Enhanced Language Learning (TELL): the educational potential of web 2.0; the multimodal aspects of internet communication and the power of images for metacognitive reflection on learning processes; the interactivity of teaching digital materials developed for language learning; the use of e-portfolios and feedback processes in distance language learning and teaching. He has been working on researching diverse active methodologies to improve the teaching and learning of foreign languages such as the implementation of mobile learning, flipped classroom and gamification. Recently, he is interested in the uses of Generative AI tools for language learning and teaching. He coordinated a telecollaboration project, first with the Rijksuniversiteit Groningen: the RUG-UB Project (2013-2016), and since 2017 he has been coordinating the HI-UB Project with Háskóli Íslands (University of Iceland). He has also coordinated different I+D projects related to the use of ICT for language teaching and also collaborated in the development of tandemMOOC at the UOC, which focuses on oral interaction in tandem in an online environment.He collaborated on two Erasmus + projects. ProPIC focused on the use of technology for Continuous Professional Development (CPD) and PRINTeL aimed to promote innovation in HE teaching and the development of teachers' digital competence in Armenian, Belarusian and Georgian Universities. He is currently the UB coordinator of the digiTED@EU project to promote and facilitate digitalisation among teacher educators in Europe - info
