In this volume, language learning and professionalization are explored by addressing the existing gap between pressing needs for enhanced soft skills in work environments wherein technology-mediated, multilingual communication is increasingly the norm, and current foreign language teaching and learning offerings in higher education. Considering theoretical, methodological, and pedagogical perspectives for preparing language learners and teachers in/for the 21st century, this volume’s eight chapters underscore that research findings should inform the design of learning experiences so that people’s communication needs in fast-changing work environments are met and the link between language education and professionalization, within a lifelong learning perspective, is sustained.
The Routledge Handbook of Language Program Development and Administration
Second language program development and administration is a long-standing area within the larger field of applied linguistics. In many ways, it is the quintessential applied linguistics field, as it crosses disciplinary boundaries while balancing the rigors of scholarly inquiry with the demands of practical application without losing sight of concrete learner outcomes. The Routledge Handbook of Language Program Development and Administration provides a scholarly rigorous, yet practically relevant treatment of issues implicated in program development and administration with 52 chapters written by leading scholars in the field. Authors not only address the theoretical underpinnings of their respective topics but also provide actionable, evidence-based recommendations concerning eminently practical matters. In this way, the volume provides both novice and experienced language program administrators with important guidance on how to think about the work that they do and how best to go about it, while also validating language program administration as a scholarly area of inquiry. The Routledge Handbook of Language Program Development and Administration is essential reading for practicing second language program administrators at the post-secondary level, in-service and pre-service second language instructors, graduate students in applied linguistics, and even upper-level undergraduate education students considering second language teaching as a future career.

Multiliteracies, Multimodality, and Learning by Design in Second Language Learning and Teacher Education offers valuable insights and practical strategies for addressing the language and literacy needs of students in diverse, multilingual classrooms. This edited volume delves into the dynamic interplay between multimodality, multiliteracies, and Learning by Design (LbyD), providing evidence-based research and actionable guidance for their effective implementation in second language learning and teacher education. Examining the advantages of incorporating multimodality and multiliteracies in second language teacher training, this book emphasizes the use of multimodal texts to create engaging and meaningful lessons for L2 learners. By empowering students as active co-constructors of knowledge, this book equips educators with the necessary tools to foster a vibrant and inclusive learning environment. Designed specifically for pre-service and practicing teachers, this book serves as an indispensable resource for integrating the pedagogy of multiliteracies into both coursework and classroom practices.
