Synopsis

This edited book explores the integration of technology into English language education, with a particular focus on extracurricular and extramural contexts. The editors and an international team of scholars discuss how English teachers can critically and systematically design and implement language activities inside and outside the classroom to improve students’ receptive and productive skills. The book also discusses how teachers can harness technology to enhance their teaching practices. The combination of theory, digital materials, teaching activities, evidence-based reflections, and a focus on Extracurricular and Extramural contexts will make this book an invaluable resource for pre-service and in-service language teachers on ESL, EFL, and TESOL courses, as well as researchers in Applied Linguistics.
