MOTHER TONGUE AND LITERATURE TEACHING IN SMART CITIES: HOW TECHNOLOGY IS RESHAPING THE FRONTIERS OF EDUCATION

Luis Cardoso

Abstract


Nowadays, mother tongue and literature teaching became vital for our future. It is through them that we will be able to educate the citizens of the future by making them aware, through language and literature, of their identity, values and cultural matrix. However, as technologies evolved, our cities not only incorporated technological innovations, they became new cities, smart cities. The so-called smart cities are changing the concepts of education and learning. Thus, in order to prepare to adapt mother tongue and literature teaching, we must first understand this new reality and, secondly, think of ways to connect smart city and the teaching of the humanities, mother tongue and literature.
