Description
Summary:This article argues for considering a shift in focus towards teacher-mediated tools in English as an Additional Language (EAL) teaching. The argument is primarily carried by previous research within Data-Driven Learning (DDL) and Second Language Acquisition (SLA). A tool currently being developed as a part of an ongoing dissertation project in collaboration with EAL teachers is used to showcase how such an implementation could look, and respondent drawings collected as a part of that project are used to fit the implementation within the routines of a small sample of practicing EAL teachers at the upper-secondary level in Sweden (n=4). The results indicate that teacher-mediated data-driven tools could work within theoretical frameworks of corrective feedback, language learning models and suggested routines of practice, but also highlight that much more research is needed before a wider implementation is considered.
