The twelfth volume in the Routledge-TIRF series Global Research on Teaching and Learning English presents research on teaching English as an additional language (EAL) in various global digital spaces. Here, digital spaces refer to any environment where technology and digital tools are used to facilitate and advance language learning. These spaces include web-based applications, social media, and video-editing software, to name just a few.
The use of digital tools and spaces has become a prominent topic in TESOL and language education in general. Chapters written by TESOL scholars, including TIRF Doctoral Dissertation Grant (DDG) awardees, highlight the importance of digital literacy and multiliteracies development among language learners. They additionally demonstrate how learner engagement with digital spaces and tools can facilitate productive, collaborative, and ultimately more successful language learning at various levels.
Readers of this volume – language educators and researchers – will benefit from up-to-date research findings on various approaches to language learning and teaching shaped by digital spaces.
