Review Quotes

A timely addition to the growing scholarship on the impact of digital culture and technology on language education. This collection of essays by leading language specialists provides both crucial theoretical context and a well-structured practical framework for applying insights across a range of topics from assessment, virtual worlds, gamified learning, digital storytelling, access and inclusivity, to a critical engagement with AI. It will be invaluable to anyone considering the future of language teaching and learning in a rapidly changing and increasingly media-inflected pedagogical landscape.

This book provides a refreshingly proactive yet comprehensive approach to maximizing the affordances current innovations in technology (e.g. AI) can offer to language teachers. The authors have put together an impressive collection of pertinent topics that include tools to implement a technology-mediated language teaching model. This is an essential resource for any language educator seeking to empower themselves (and their students) in the use of technology to promote learning in the instructed setting.
