Course Design Practices Using Open Educational Resources (OER)-Enabled Pedagogy in Language Teacher Education

Promoting pre-service teachers’ professional development is challenging because it requires adopting a new teacher identity and building professional skills. This challenge is further complicated when pre-service teachers learn online. In this article, the authors describe two design cases of adopting OER-enabled pedagogy in language teacher education during the COVID-19 lockdown. We argue that OER-enabled pedagogy can provide effective learning opportunities, engage learners, and help pre-service teachers build professional identity. The design cases offer insights into adopting OER-enabled pedagogy in various contexts, which is especially important given the increasing need for quality distance learning during regular and emergency situations.
