The twelfth volume in the Routledge-TIRF series presents research on the use of technology and digital learning in English as an additional language (EAL) instruction.

With chapters written by TESOL scholars, including senior scholars as well as TIRF Doctoral Dissertation Grant (DDG) awardees, the book explores various aspects of teaching and learning English in digital spaces. The term digital spaces refers to any space or environment where technology and digital tools (e.g., applications, social media, video-editing software, to name just a few) are used to facilitate and advance language learning. The use of digital tools and spaces has become a prominent topic in TESOL and language education in general. Various scholars have highlighted the importance of digital literacy and multiliteracies development among language learners and have demonstrated how learner engagement with digital spaces and tools can facilitate productive, collaborative, and ultimately more successful language learning at various levels.

The readers of this volume – language educators and researchers – need up-to-date research findings on various approaches to language learning and teaching shaped by digital spaces present in various educational settings. This volume will offer readers examples of how researchers and teachers in language education utilize digital spaces in order to impact approaches to classroom practices.

“Grounded in empirical studies spanning a wide range of theoretical frameworks and methodologies, Research on Language Learning and Teaching in Digital Spaces provides a compelling map of how digital environments are reshaping English language education. Tracing language learning and teaching across social media, games, VR and AI, the volume offers nuanced, context-sensitive insights into equity, intercultural collaboration, and culturally responsive practice for educators, researchers, and policymakers worldwide.”
