Language & Education

Taking Literature and Language Learning Online

New Perspectives on Teaching, Research and Technology

Edited by Sandra Stadler-Heer, Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt, Germany & Amos Paran, University College London, UK The use of literary texts in remote language education can be static, with faculty resorting to tried and true lecturing strategies; the contributions in this volume present numerous alternatives and provide research-based grounding for their implementation. A discussion of literary outputs stimulated by the pandemic as well as past pandemics is followed by a study of the pedagogy of engaging learners with literature online, examining learners of different ages and of different proficiency levels and educational backgrounds. Finally, a third strand looks at the affordances of various technologies for teaching online and the way they interact with literature and with language learning.

Digital Games and Language Learning

Theory, Development and Implementation

Edited by Mark Peterson, Kyoto University, Japan, Kasumi Yamazaki, University of Toledo, USA & Michael Thomas, Liverpool John Moores University, UK Bringing together innovative research from an international team of contributors, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the use of digital games in computer-assisted language learning (CALL). The book outlines various rationales for using digital games, incorporating contemporary theories of second language acquisition. Chapters then draw on case studies from Europe and Japan to analyse in-game interaction, attitudes and participation in both institutional and outof-classroom settings. Combining theory with practical application, this is a valuable resource for instructors, researchers and practitioners who are designing games or using them in their classrooms.

Language and Decoloniality in Higher Education

Reclaiming Voices from the South

Edited by Zannie Bock, University of the Western Cape, South Africa & Christopher Stroud, University of the Western Cape, South Africa The contributors provide case studies from different higher education contexts in South Africa and use a decolonial lens to highlight how innovative educational practices and policies can be used as transformation tools, not only to enhance epistemic access, but also to give voice to more marginal participants. Commentaries from highly respected scholars working in other southern contexts consider how the insights and principles articulated by the case studies can address issues on a global scale.
