Overview

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought great disruption in education systems around the world, calling for many institutions to shut down and change to online teaching. Language teaching programs across the globe have responded to the call of distance education, and in the blink of an eye teachers have been challenged to transform their material on to online platforms and/or Learning Management Systems (LMS), even though their material was not initially designed with distance learning in mind. This has led to ELT programs extending their online material for the semesters to come, trying to adjust the material and deliver high quality teaching to their students. The education emergency caused by the virus has revealed that, now more than ever, the world is in need of an education system that favours flexibility and resilience to equip educators, of all sectors, to face an unpredictable emergency that may arise. The aim of the proposed book is to examine the phenomenon of emergency language education further and provide an avenue for teachers and researchers to share their experience, thoughts and suggestions about transferring their material and teaching approaches from Face-to-Face (f2f) to an online setting. The current situation in the language education community has brought a great deal of disruption and frustration among practitioners and language learners. This book examines this phenomenon further and provides an avenue for teachers and researchers to share their experience, thoughts and suggestions about transferring their material and teaching approaches from Face-to-Face (f2f) to an online setting. This book gives practitioners a voice and spotlights their efforts to keep their language teaching afloat during these trying times. Additionally, it will showcase how researchers systematically documented their data with the use of technology, evaluations and reflections, and highlight on creative research paths, which could only take place in a fully online environment.
