About this book
This volume discusses how the use of technology creates opportunities for effective teaching practice and illustrates ways to apply innovative and stimulating ways to engage and interact with students on-line. This research-led book brings together teaching practice and case studies and provides a comprehensive understanding of how technology can enhance teaching and learning through English as medium of instruction. It helps to further the understanding of challenges that language teachers and learners may experience, and provides suggested solutions to address these challenges. It also reflects on the use of technology trough case studies and practical tasks. This book brings theory and practice together and it informs research and classroom practices. It will therefore be of great value to teachers in training as well as to those already working or researching in the field.
