This well-thought-out edited volume comprises studies that explore the pedagogical potential and realities of new learning technologies in a wide range of language education contexts. Featuring research on topics such as technology-mediated TBLT, virtual schooling, game-based learning, autonomy, inclusion, academic reading, student empowerment, CPD, and digital responsibility and ethics, this book provides useful insights into the impact of digital learning in language education.
The book’s truly international spread gives voice to a range of different contexts across the globe, some of which we are not accustomed to reading about; from the UK, Spain, Portugal, Cyprus, Greece and Israel to Japan, Australia, Chile, Thailand, and Uruguay, the authors unify research, theoretical understandings, cultural considerations, practical experience and policy implications into a coherent whole.
It is ideally designed for language practitioners, teacher educators, researchers, administrators and curriculum developers and will make a valuable resource for any educator interested in approaching technology from a critical and informed pedagogical perspective.
The PREFACE, has been written by Gordon Lewis and this can be read in full on Amazon by looking inside.
