“…Although a plethora of studies on teaching computer literacy have been published since early 1980s, the literature on IT literacy is quite scarce. Due to the changing nature of technology advances and different perceptions held by various researchers [14][15][16][17][18], both terms had never been defined consistently. Nevertheless, among those studies, Osborne [19], Halaris [20], and the National Research Council, USA [21] presented their point of view in the most concrete and systematic manner to illustrate what IT literacy was about, especially for those who were outside the computer science field.…”

FIT, Fluency with Information Technology, was developed by the National Research Council, USA in 1999. A FIT individual is defined as someone who can build new knowledge based on his/her prior knowledge, be self-sustaining when changes happen, and find solutions creatively to solve more complicated problems. Using FIT framework and active learning concept to restructure an information technology (IT) course is a sustainable approach to helping students learn, think, and adapt to the constant changes of technology. This article illustrates how FIT framework helped redesign a general education Network Resources and Applications course to enhance students’ IT competences and job-seeking capabilities. It describes (1) the importance of IT education in Taiwan to sustain its high-tech economy, (2) the trend of IT literacy education and active learning presented in literature, (3) how FIT intellectual framework was applied to redesign this course and how active learning strategies were incorporated into teaching, and (4) how pre-test, post-test, and Likert-Scale statistical methodology were used to measure the effectiveness of this new approach. Test results indicated that the new approach did effectively facilitate teaching and increase students’ learning performance, which is consistent with the findings presented in the literature.

This chapter reports on a new learner corpus project, describes its purpose and design, and demonstrates its use: the error-annotated corpus of 442,939 words of Nigerian and Cameroonian English Learner Language (Conacell) (Esimaje 2016). The aim of the project is to produce a resource for measuring learners’ language development and to enhance the teaching-learning process. The corpus data comprises the language output of 998 students; 383 university and 615 secondary students. The specific uses of the corpus to explore lexical form and tense usages by learners in Nigeria and Cameroon are shown. Corpus analysis reveals, for instance, that the lexical form of capitalisation and tense are hard to learn, and therefore remain learning needs in the contexts.
