New Trends in English Language Teaching, Learning and Education
Edited by Giuseppe Balirano (University of Naples L'Orientale), Gašper
Ilc (University of Ljubljana), Tania Zulli (G. d'Annunzio University
of Chieti-Pescara)
(https://serena.sharepress.it/AL/call_for_papers)
Over the past decade, the field of English Language Teaching has
witnessed a significant reconfiguration shaped by intersecting
pedagogical, technological, and sociolinguistic developments. These
transformations have prompted a re-examination of the theoretical
foundations, methodological orientations, and educational priorities
that inform contemporary language pedagogy. Emerging digital
infrastructures, increasingly multilingual learning environments, and
the growing presence of data-driven and AI-enhanced tools are not
merely expanding the range of available practices; they are redefining
the epistemological assumptions underpinning teacher education,
learner engagement, assessment, and curriculum design. At the same
time, global shifts in educational delivery – accelerated by recent
crises – have foregrounded the need for adaptive models capable of
addressing issues of access, learner diversity, and pedagogical
sustainability. Within this complex and evolving scenario, the edited
volume New Trends in English Language Teaching, Learning and Education
seeks to offer a critical and research-informed space for
investigating how these dynamics are reshaping ELT and for exploring
innovative trajectories that may guide its future development.
We invite scholars, researchers, teachers, and practitioners to submit
contributions that explore emerging themes and innovative perspectives
in ELT, including but not limited to:
- the dynamics, challenges, and attitudes surrounding digital learning
environments;
- relationships between language theories and classroom practices;
- the use of audio description as a pedagogical tool in specialised
language instruction;
- issues in third language learning, multilingual competence, and
learner corpus analysis;
- integration of web-mediated content into writing pedagogy and its
implications for learner performance;
- innovations in receptive skills instruction within ELT curricula;
- applications of sentiment analysis to ELT/ELF contexts;
- potentials and limitations of mobile apps and digital tools for EFL
learning;
- experiences with learning management systems for online teaching and
assessment, including practices developed during emergency remote
instruction;
- the use and impact of videoconference-based examination in complex
educational settings;
- pedagogical and ethical considerations surrounding artificial
intelligence in ELT;
- the role of corpora and interactive platforms in translation
training and post-editing activities;
- fostering critical thinking skills in post-pandemic language
education.
The volume aims to offer a multifaceted and up-to-date overview of
current developments, encouraging international dialogue on
sustainable, inclusive, and research-informed approaches to language
education.
