A timely addition to the growing scholarship on the impact of digital culture and technology on language education. This collection of essays by leading language specialists provides both crucial theoretical context and a well-structured practical framework for applying insights across a range of topics from assessment, virtual worlds, gamified learning, digital storytelling, access and inclusivity, to a critical engagement with AI. It will be invaluable to anyone considering the future of language teaching and learning in a rapidly changing and increasingly media-inflected pedagogical landscape.
