Due to the unexpected pandemic of COVID-19 and the abrupt shift from
face-to-face learning and teaching practices to digital platforms brings
several issues into discussion such as the platform to use, interaction, and
assessment. We have witnessed rapid changes in the past year in how we teach
and learn and communicate with each other using various technological devices.
The current state and quality of language teaching and learning practices are
heterogeneous. While in some contexts, teachers and learners benefit from a
variety of well-designed digital and print resources, in some contexts, some
others, having a reliable internet connection and a device to use appear to be
the main concerns. 

Thus, this edited collection is intended to offer readers cutting-edge updates
on how teachers in different contexts teach English online indicating
challenges and opportunities faced via a series of chapters as reflections on
teachers’ own experience. These chapters will include:
 
a brief description of the context, 
resources available, challenges and 
challenges faced while teaching English online, 
teachers’ own and constitutionally imposed solutions to these issues, and 
opportunities and benefits of teaching online
 
Teachers are invited to submit proposals according to the following criteria.
Chapters must be original work and not under review for publication elsewhere.
Since the book aims to include teachers’ reflections all around the world,
potential teachers of English need to first complete the following Google
