Online Language Teaching: Crises and Creativities

Description

Overview

The book series “Developing Online Language Pedagogies” covers online teaching and learning in a way that makes it relevant to practitioners and researchers. The first volume, “Online Language Teaching: Crises and Creativities,” exemplifies this approach by collecting creative and altruistic responses of language educators and organisations to the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic. Colleagues from Canada, the Czech Republic, Germany, Korea, Spain, and the UK present their individual and institutional reactions to the need for rapid staff training in times of lockdown and an emergency move to online language teaching. The volume culminates in a collaborative conclusion where all the authors jointly reflect on exceptional circumstances and how the crisis can give rise to creative solutions.
