Online Language Teaching in Diverse Contexts
This book brings together a variety of perspectives and interventions related to online and remote language teaching. Aimed at scholars and language teachers, as well as students of language pedagogy, these perspectives are drawn from diverse teaching contexts, although the findings they share can be applied across different levels and target languages. This volume also includes reflection on implementing these ideas during and after the remote learning necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
This volume will be especially valuable in the coming years, as educators and researchers work to understand the experiences of teachers and learners during the pandemic, and as the remote teaching precipitated by recent events increases interest in online learning. As online language course offerings continue to grow and develop, this volume will be a rich resource for researchers, instructors, and students interested in better understanding the diverse practices and methods that can be employed in online language teaching.
