Overview
This volume offers a rich overview of current research and teaching strategies for the integration of technology into language teaching and learning. It introduces the Planning, Personalization and Implementation (PPI) methodological framework to support educators in engaging with the theoretical foundations and innovative practices that should guide the incorporation of technology into their teaching practices. While Spanish language teaching is used as an example, the recommendations can be applied to any language learning contexts. The 13 chapters address a broad range of themes including accessibility, curriculum design, teacher attitudes, motivation, anxiety and feedback, and offer guidance on using digital tools such as podcasts, gamification and artificial intelligence. Written by an international group of scholars, this book serves as a roadmap for language professionals to effectively incorporate technology into any learning environment, whether face-to-face, hybrid or online. This book will be available as an open access publication under a CC BY NC ND licence.

Reviews
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. * Paul Spence, King's College London, UK *
