Language Teaching and Teacher Education

In an era marked by global mobility, technological transformation, and increasingly complex educational landscapes, language teachers are expected to navigate pedagogical, cultural, and ethical challenges that extend far beyond traditional classroom practices. Language Teaching and Teacher Education brings together leading and emerging scholars from diverse international contexts to examine how language education is being reimagined in response to these developments.
The chapters engage with critical themes shaping contemporary language education, including intercultural communicative competence, dynamic assessment, technology-enhanced language learning, teacher identity, reflective practice, and the pedagogical implications of artificial intelligence. By bridging theory, research, and classroom practice, the contributors highlight how teacher education can cultivate professional agency, critical awareness, and adaptive expertise among language educators.
Drawing on empirical research and conceptual inquiry from Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, this volume offers timely insights for researchers, teacher educators, graduate students, and practitioners seeking to understand the evolving nature of language teaching in a rapidly changing world.
