Subject: English as a Foreign Language in a New-Found Post-Pandemic World (IGI Global - SPI Q1)

 
The COVID-19 pandemic has catalyzed a new era in EFL learning and teaching by
shifting EFL education mode from the face-to-face learning paradigm to the
online and distance learning paradigm. The post-pandemic move to digital
transformation has hastened technology integration in English language
instruction which entails recasting existing beliefs and practices about
students, curricula goals, and pedagogical approaches in digital learning
environments. This pedagogical reformation requires EFL teachers to design and
use alternative modes of teaching and assessment that develop learner
autonomy, promote learners' participation and interaction in collaborative
learning situations, and engage learners with formative and performance-based
assessment tasks. In the post-pandemic situation, the educators, teachers,
students, and all the curricula developers need to focus on need- based
language and technology-guided teaching and learning process.

Focusing on English as a Foreign Language (EFL), this book sets out to offer
an overview of chapters that offer wise advice coming from real practice or
grounded theory on how to approach EFL teaching in this ‘new normal’
situation, maximizing e-learning environments. This book will present
practices, challenges, and perspectives of post-pandemic EFL education that
serve as a compendium of theory- and concept-based practice chapters
addressing practical strategies, techniques, approaches, and methods from a
theoretical or conceptual perspective. Besides, it includes research-based
chapters with strong pedagogical implications on digital English language
learning and teaching in the post-pandemic.

The major objectives of this book are:
- to present an overview of tools, designs, and strategies utilized in
providing digital teaching and assessment of English language;
- to share findings of research on using digital technologies for supporting
English language learning;
- to provide educators with evidence-based online practices for digital
English language learning and teaching;
- to identify promising areas and directions for future innovations,
applications, and research in digital English language learning and teaching.

We are seeking chapter proposals for theoretical, conceptual, or
quasi-experimental research studies on the following, or related, topics:
- Digital English Language Learning and Teaching of specific English language
skills (listening, reading, speaking, writing, and interaction) and elements
including vocabulary, grammar, and sounds, along with digital literacy and
multimodality.
- Digital English Language Learning Environments and various online
instructional designs, tools, models, and practices such as blended learning
and flipped learning, project-based learning, design thinking, problem-based
learning, personalized learning, and gamification using online devices and
platforms
- Perceptions of Digital English Language Learning investigating aspects
related to the learner and online learning such as students’ engagement,
autonomy, self-regulation, attitudes toward online learning.
- Perceptions of Digital English Language Teaching investigating aspects
related to online teaching and the teacher’s role in a blended learning or
fully online environment.
- Digital Teacher Education and Professional Development investigating
teacher's preparation and training in the new digital era on utilizing online
tools for teaching the English language and investigating aspects related to
teachers’ knowledge, skills, and beliefs of online teaching.
- Social Impact of Digital English Language Learning Environments
investigating social and academic challenges and opportunities of going fully
online and online teaching in developing nations or with no easy or full
access to the Internet.
