This book brings together contributions on learner autonomy from a
myriad of contexts to advance our understanding of what autonomous
language learning looks like with digital tools, and how this
understanding is shaped by and can shape different
socio-institutional, curricular, and instructional support. To this
end, the individual contributions in the book highlight
practice-oriented, empirically-based research on
technology-mediated learner autonomy and its pedagogical
implications. They address how technology can support learner
autonomy as process by leveraging the affordances available in
social media, virtual exchange, self-access, or learning in the
wild (Hutchins, 1995). The rapid evolution and adoption of
technology in all aspects of our lives has pushed issues related to
learner and teacher autonomy centre stage in the language education
landscape. This book tackles emergent challenges from different
perspectives and diverse learning ecologies with a focus on social
and educational (in)equality. Specifically, to this effect, the
chapters consider digital affordances of virtual exchange, gaming,
and apps in technology-mediated language learning and teaching
ranging from instructed and semi-instructed to self-instructed
contexts. The volume foregrounds the concepts of critical digital
literacy and social justice in relation to language learner and
teacher autonomy and illustrates how this approach may contribute
to institutional objectives for equality, diversity and inclusion
in higher education around the world and will be useful for
researchers and teachers alike.
