DIGICOMPASS Junior: A Framework for Global Language Education in the Primary Classroom

Rocca, Sonia

This book presents DIGICOMPASS Junior, a workable framework for global language education in the upper primary years (grades 4–6). It adapts the original DIGICOMPASS for younger learners and shows teachers how to plan inclusive, developmentally appropriate learning that connects languages, cultures, and digital practices. Chapters translate principles into classroom moves—plurilingual practices; intercultural learning; multimodal and digital literacies; personalized pathways with experiential projects; and assessment for feedback, portfolios, and growth. With planning tools, rubrics, and a ready-to-use sample module, DIGICOMPASS Junior helps classrooms become language-rich, culturally responsive spaces where students participate across languages and cultures, build empathy, and communicate with confidence. This book is designed for teachers, with added value for leaders, policymakers, and curriculum developers.
