About the book:

This book brings together contributions on learner autonomy from a myriad
of contexts to advance our understanding of what autonomous language
learning looks like with digital tools, and how this understanding is
shaped by and can shape different socio-institutional, curricular, and
instructional support. To this end, the individual contributions in the
book highlight practice-oriented, empirically-based research on
technology-mediated learner autonomy and its pedagogical implications. They
address how technology can support learner autonomy as process by
leveraging the affordances available in social media, virtual exchange,
self-access, or learning *in the wild* (Hutchins, 1995).


The rapid evolution and adoption of technology in all aspects of our lives
has pushed issues related to learner and teacher autonomy centre stage in
the language education landscape. This book tackles emergent challenges
from different perspectives and diverse learning ecologies with a focus on
social and educational (in)equality. Specifically, to this effect, the
chapters consider digital affordances of virtual exchange, gaming, and apps
in technology-mediated language learning and teaching ranging from
instructed and semi-instructed to self-instructed contexts. The volume
foregrounds the concepts of critical digital literacy and social justice in
relation to language learner and teacher autonomy and illustrates how this
approach may contribute to institutional objectives for equality, diversity
and inclusion in higher education around the world and will be useful for
researchers and teachers alike.
