"This book does an exemplary and geographically comprehensive job of documenting the impacts of pandemic-driven adaptation through technology on second language teacher education. The collection is as impressive for its breadth as it is timely for its discussions of what can be learned about using technological tools in ELT pre-service preparation and professional development." - Donald Freeman, Professor, School of Education, University of Michigan, USA "This is a comprehensive volume representing a broad range of cultures and contexts and provides empirically grounded insights into the talent, resilience and practices of language educators when faced with the challenge of swiftly altering instructional contexts." - Carla Meskill, Professor, Department of Educational Theory and Practice, State University of New York, USA "Karim Sadeghi and Michael Thomas have skilfully assembled insights from educators around the world, bringing together the lessons learned while teachers navigated unusually difficult and confusing times. The many practical insights and creative solutions this volume provides will be useful to any astute reader wishing to better understand innovations that emerged during the crisis." - Larry LaFond, Professor, Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville, USA This edited book brings together documented evidence and theoretical propositions on the essential mediating role of digital technology in L2 teacher education and professional development. Topics range from technological affordances in teacher education, to challenges and responses to emergency transition from face to face to virtual professional development, to successful practices of online teacher training courses. Bringing together examples from various countries and contexts of how L2 teacher trainers and trainee teachers view these forced changes and react to them, the volume fills a gap in the use of digital technology in contexts where teacher educators and trainee teachers are not technology-literate and not prepared for technology-oriented education. In addition to a Foreword by Mark Warschauer and Introduction and Conclusion chapters by Editors, the volume features 13 full-length chapters by some of the well-known experts from countries such as Australia, Finland, Mexico, the UK, the USA, Spain, Singapore, Turkey and Sweden. Karim Sadeghi is Professor of TESOL at Urmia University, Iran, and is the founding editor chief of Iranian Journal of Language Teaching Research, a Scopus Q1 journal. Michael Thomas is Professor of Education and Social Justice and Chair of the Centre for Educational Research (CERES) at Liverpool John Moores University.
