Reviews

""It is inspiring to see a collection of innovative papers that put the Global South front and centre, where it belongs. The editors and authors have done a fabulous job in offering an inclusive perspective on the role of technology in language education."" Hayo Reinders, Professor of Applied Linguistics, King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT), Thailand ""The book “Computer-Assisted Language Learning in the Global South: Exploring Challenges and Opportunities for Students and Teachers” is an important compilation that illuminates the unique hurdles and possibilities within technology-enhanced language education in developing regions in the south. Through detailed case studies and reflective insights from countries like Iran, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Chile, the book thoroughly examines barriers such as infrastructural limitations and policy misalignments, while also highlighting innovative solutions and pedagogical strategies. This volume is an invaluable resource for language educators, policymakers, and researchers dedicated to bridging educational divides and fostering inclusive, effective language learning environments globally.""
