Using a comprehensive, interdisciplinary, and multimodal approach that incorporates project-based learning and teaching (PBLT), this book addresses the pressing need for language teacher education that considers contextual language development, content-area subjects acquisition, 21st-century skills learning, and technology integration.By providing original research and field-tested curricula modules that align with professional standards, this edited collection makes significant contributions to the pedagogy of second and foreign language education, teacher education and development, and PBLT research. The chapters offer solutions to challenges posed by recent language policy changes, technological advancements, and changing student needs. They also include generative AI-mediated curricula innovations while highlighting the need for critical and ethical perspectives within digital technology. With contributors across Canada, China, Indonesia, Iran, South Korea, Spain, and the United States, the book offers global perspectives on second and foreign language education, teacher education and development, instructional design, and curriculum development.Project-Based Learning in Language and Content Teacher Education is an essential resource for professors, graduate and undergraduate students, and teacher educators in TESOL, language education, applied linguistics, and general education.

This open access volume reveals the hidden power of the script we read in and how it shapes and drives our minds, ways of thinking, and cultures.  Expanding on the Linguistic Relativity Hypothesis (i.e., the idea that language affects the way we think), this volume proposes the “Script Relativity Hypothesis” (i.e., the idea that the script in which we read affects the way we think) by offering a unique perspective on the effect of script (alphabets, morphosyllabaries, or multi-scripts) on our attention, perception, and problem-solving.  Once we become literate, fundamental changes occur in our brain circuitry to accommodate the new demand for resources.  The powerful effects of literacy have been demonstrated by research on literate versus illiterate individuals, as well as cross-scriptal transfer, indicating that literate brain networks function differently, depending on the script being read.  This book identifies the locus of differences between the Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans, and between the East and the West, as the neural underpinnings of literacy.  To support the “Script Relativity Hypothesis”, it reviews a vast corpus of empirical studies, including anthropological accounts of human civilization, social psychology, cognitive psychology, neuropsychology, applied linguistics, second language studies, and cross-cultural communication. It also discusses the impact of reading from screens in the digital age, as well as the impact of bi-script or multi-script use, which is a growing trend around the globe.  As a result, our minds, ways of thinking, and cultures are now growing closer together, not farther apart.

This book provides comprehensive coverage of the Korean alphabet, Hangul, and includes a synthesis of research findings relating to reading in the non-Roman alphabet.

This book provides comprehensive coverage of the Korean alphabet, Hangul, and includes a synthesis of research findings relating to reading in the non-Roman alphabet.

This handbook offers comprehensive insights into the language-writing nexus of the Korean alphabet, Hangul. Recognized by international linguists and historians as the most scientifically designed and efficient script, Hangul's uniqueness lies in its effective integration of the alphabetic principle into syllabic blocks. The volume challenges the dominant Eurocentric research trend by extending the body of knowledge to include Korean. The Korean alphabet is uniquely different from the Chinese and Japanese writing systems and the Latin alphabet. The state-of-the-art reflections on the Korean language, its alphabet, and its processing are organized into five parts, including (1) spoken language and written language, (2) processing at the lexical level, (3) processing at the sentential level, (4) acquisition of Korean as L1 and L2, and (5) future directions in theory, methodology, pedagogy, and more. The volume is written by leading Korean and non-Korean specialists in relevant fields across the world. It discusses Hangul-specific theories, script-specific empirical evidence, and syllable-based pedagogical practices. With the current Korean cultural wave (a.k.a., Hallyu; e.g., K-pop, K-dramas, K-movies, etc.) spreading across the world, this Handbook is timely and serves as a signpost to future research and practice. This collection of chapters serves as an authoritative vade mecum, offering scientifically grounded discussions on the complex mechanisms involved in reading and text processing while remaining accessible to students, researchers, practitioners, and policymakers.
