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

 
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. Teachers and students have been facing
several challenges concerning choosing appropriate web tools for presenting
the content either synchronously or asynchronously, motivating students to
participate, and assessing students’ learning. Besides, this shift to
emergency remote online learning represents a challenge for students,
particularly with managing their own learning. Also, taking into account that
many of ELLs attend low-income schools with limited resources that lack
reliable access to the internet and computers, this shift resulted in growing
equity gaps. Likewise, transitioning to emergency remote teaching revealed a
lack of digital competency and readiness amongst teachers. 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 situation, 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 co-edited book, published
by IGI Global (Q1 - SPI) will include chapters from a theoretical or
conceptual perspective as well as research-based chapters with strong
pedagogical implications on digital English language learning and teaching in
the post-pandemic return.

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