Overview

This book brings together a team of leading international scholars to explore the rich inter-section of technology and second language (L2) learning and teaching. This innovative volume offers a unique blend of cutting-edge empirical research, pedagogy-informed perspectives, and practical applications for educators, administrators, and researchers alike. From digital games, interactive fiction, and chatbots, to multimedia input, online collaboration, and vocabulary tools, each chapter shows how technology can foster more effective, equitable, and purposeful L2 learning. Importantly, the contributors avoid framing technology as a collection of isolated tools; instead, they view technology as a set of adaptable resources for designing rich, multimodal, and socially-informed instructional practices. This forward-thinking, comprehensive volume aims to empower L2 educators and researchers to leverage technology’s full potential in a way that resonates with pedagogy, context, and the growing need for justice, equity, and inclusion in L2 education; thereby preparing them to successfully navigate the ever-increasing array of technology for L2 teaching and learning. The editors would like to thank the following teacher reviewers for their input and feedback on the chapters in this volume. Their classroom insights were a valuable addition to the book. Isaac Lee, Jessica Charlton, Sofia Bacasen, Haley Fulton, Myriam Standwood, Valentina Ardiles, Yeiron Manyoma, Drew Peterson, and Izumi Olsen.
