Abstract:

As globalization spreads, English has become a lingua franca. Emerging
technologies (e.g., Artificial Intelligence) now make learning English
more accessible, affordable, and tailored to each learner. Social
media and digital platforms immerse users in English, offering
interactive, personalized, and engaging experiences that fuel Informal
Digital Learning of English (IDLE). Research spanning more than ten
regions has found that IDLE brings a wide range of benefits, including
greater motivation, higher academic achievement, and stronger speaking
skills. Today, IDLE is being woven into schools and local communities
through partnerships among teachers, NGOs, and industry leaders. This
volume seeks to (a) showcase the latest research on IDLE, (b)
highlight examples of IDLE in educational and community settings, and
(c) chart future pathways for practice, research, and collaboration.

Written In: English (eng)
