This book brings together a variety of perspectives and interventions related to online and remote language teaching. Aimed at scholars and language teachers, as well as students of language pedagogy, these perspectives are drawn from diverse teaching contexts, although the findings they share can be applied across different levels and target languages. This volume also includes reflection on implementing these ideas during and after the remote learning necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic. This volume will be especially valuable in the coming years, as educators and researchers work to understand the experiences of teachers and learners during the pandemic, and as the remote teaching precipitated by recent events increases interest in online learning. As online language course offerings continue to grow and develop, this volume will be a rich resource for researchers, instructors, and students interested in better understanding the diverse practices and methods that can be employed in online language teaching.
Second Language Interaction in Diverse Educational Contexts
This volume brings together empirical research that explores interaction in a wide range of educational settings. It includes work that takes a cognitive, brain-based approach to studying interaction, as well as studies that take a social, contextual perspective. Interaction is defined quite broadly, with many chapters focusing on oral interaction as is typical in the field, while other chapters report work that involves interaction between learners and technology. Several studies describe the linguistic and discourse features of interaction between learners and their interlocutors, but others demonstrate how interaction can serve other purposes, such as to inform placement decisions. The chapters in the book collectively illustrate the diversity of contemporary approaches to interaction research, investigating interactions with different interlocutors ( learner-learner, learner-teacher), in a variety of environments (classrooms, interactive testing environments, conversation groups) and through different modalities (oral and written, face-to-face and technology-mediated).
