Mark Dressman, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA Informal digital learning improves English learning. Adnan Mohamed, Washington State University, USA Ju Seong Lee's (2022) Informal Digital Learning of English: Research to Practice is essential reading for those who wish to understand this rapidly emerging phenomenon in English-language learning. A strength of Informal Digital Learning of English: Research to Practice is that it provides empirically tested activities, pedagogical recommendations, and lesson plans for how language teachers could implement IDLE in their curriculum and teaching practices. Additionally, the robust empirical studies discussed in the book employ a variety of research methodologies to reveal the benefits of IDLE in the context of CALL. The book is particularly informative and valuable for researchers and practitioners interested in experimenting with IDLE approaches in students' daily social spaces and introducing informal digital practices into language learning. Informal Digital Learning of English: Research to Practice is written in a straightforward style by a leading author in the field. By synthesising seminal works, theories, and pedagogy, Lee explains how both novice and experienced educators can implement IDLE. The chapters are comprehensive, data-rich, relevant, and informative for language teachers and researchers alike. This book is a valuable reference point for understanding IDLE and promoting its advancement.
