Welcome to ReaLiTea
ReaLiTea stands for Research Literacy of Teachers. It seeks to enhance the research and teaching skills of pre-service and in-service foreign and second language educators. Our focus is to bridge the gaps between theories and practices, meet the needs of marginalized learners, and improve critical literacies in teacher education and in foreign and second language teaching and learning.
About ReaLiTea
ReaLiTea is an Erasmus+ Cooperation Partnership (KA-220) that has, at its core, the professionalization of pre-service and in-service foreign and second language teachers around the world. The goal of ReaLiTea is to develop teachers' research literacies to strengthen the connections between second language education theory and classroom practice. By engaging in research-related activities, educators reflect on what they do in their classrooms, identifying issues related to both equity and efficacy. Educational practice is improved for all learners.
The ReaLiTea Team
ReaLiTea brings together the strengths of an international research team from seven universities. The consortium includes colleagues from the Technical University of Dortmund, the Universities of Bergen, Stuttgart, Thessaly, Vienna, York and Oxford, the Social Sciences University of Ankara, and the OASIS project.
