Team Teaching and Team Learning in the Language Classroom : Collaboration for innovation in ELT
This book reignites discussion on the importance of collaboration and innovation in language education.The pivotal difference highlighted in this volume is the concept of team learning through collaborative relationships such as team teaching.It explores ways in which team learning happens in ELT environments and what emerges from these explorations is a more robust concept of team learning in language education.Coupled with this deeper understanding, the value of participant research is emphasised by defining the notion of ‘team’ to include all participants in the educational experience.Authors in this volume position practice ahead of theory as they struggle to make sense of the complex phenomena of language teaching and learning.The focus of this book is on the nexus between ELT theory and practice as viewed through the lens of collaboration.The volume aims to add to the current knowledge base in order to bridge the theory-practice gap regarding collaboration for innovation in language classrooms.

Global Englishes for Language Teaching
The spread of English as a global language has resulted in the emergence of a number of related fields of research within applied linguistics, including English as an International Language, English as a Lingua Franca, and World Englishes.Here, Heath Rose and Nicola Galloway consolidate this work by exploring how the global spread of English has impacted TESOL, uniting similar movements in second language acquisition, such as translanguaging and the multilingual turn.They build on a number of concrete proposals for change and innovation in English language teaching practice, whilst offering a detailed examination of how to incorporate a Global Englishes perspective into the multiple faces of TESOL, putting research-informed practice at the forefront.Global Englishes for Language Teaching is a ground-breaking attempt to unite discussions on the pedagogical implications of the global spread of English into a single text for researchers and practicing teachers.

Would sign language be the better global language?
While sign language is a visual and expressive form of communication that can be beneficial for deaf and hard of hearing individuals, it may not necessarily be the best global language. Sign languages vary across different countries and regions, making it challenging to establish a universal sign language that everyone can understand. Additionally, spoken languages are more widely used and understood globally, making them more practical for communication on a larger scale. However, promoting the use and recognition of sign language alongside spoken languages can help create a more inclusive and accessible society for all individuals.

When will another language replace the global language English?
It is difficult to predict when another language will replace English as the global language, as English has become deeply entrenched in various aspects of global communication, business, and culture. However, with the rise of countries like China and the increasing importance of Mandarin Chinese, some experts suggest that Chinese could potentially challenge English in the future. Nevertheless, the dominance of English is likely to persist for the foreseeable future due to its widespread use and acceptance worldwide.

Technology-Mediated Crisis Response in Language Studies
The COVID-19 crisis was unplanned, unprecedented, and highly unpredictable, leading educators to rethink their pedagogies, policies, practices, technologies, strategies and more.In the months and years following, educational institutions were forced to adjust to new ways of doing their work, refinements with long-term implications for language learning and teaching.Much of the early research in language education which came about as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic focused on its negative effects, such as the lack of infrastructure and preparedness (Tao & Gao, 2022), (in)equitable access for educators and learners (Back, Zavala, & Franco, 2022), perceived lowered outcomes (Moser, Wei & Brenner, 2021), and emotional burdens (MacIntyre, Gregersen, & Mercer, 2020).In this volume, we capture some of the lessons learned during and as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in order to move forward as a field with intention and purpose, and to take advantage of any crisis-prompted innovation.The volume aims to provide implications for other current and future challenges and crises that require our attention in language teaching and technology.Contributions will bring additional depth to the pandemic discussion in each of the four parts: (1) Emergency Response, (2) Problem Solving, (3) Outcomes, and (4) By-Products.

Why is there no global language?
There is no global language because language is deeply tied to culture, history, and identity. Different regions and communities have developed their own languages over time, and these languages are an integral part of their heritage. Additionally, the diversity of languages reflects the diversity of human experiences and perspectives. Attempts to impose a single global language would undermine this rich linguistic and cultural diversity. Instead, embracing and preserving the multitude of languages spoken around the world can help foster understanding and appreciation for different cultures.
