Provides a thorough overview of digital learning methods and their
practical application in the modern language classroom English
Language Learning in the Digital Age is a comprehensive
introduction to the theoretical background and real-world
application of IDLE (Informal Digital Learning of English).
Designed for teachers and future teachers preparing to teach
English as a second or other language, this highly practical guide
focuses on incorporating digital technology into curricula to draw
upon the extracurricular exposures to English that many students
experience outside of the classroom. With some creativity and care,
teachers can find ways to bring these experiences with English into
the classroom, ultimately improving student learning outcomes.
Offering a specific focus on examples and case studies drawn from
language education in the Middle East, Asia, and Europe, this text
employs a three-part structure beginning with the theories behind
autonomous learning and the importance of informal language
learning for young adults. Part two demonstrates various methods
for integrating games, social media, e-books, language software,
mobile apps, and other digital resources into the classroom. The
third section addresses the use of IDLE methods to bridge the gap
between informal and formal uses of English, the advantages and
disadvantages of IDLE in flipped classrooms and online teaching,
and how IDLE strategies can enhance mandated curricula and better
prepare students for national exams. The book concludes with a
brief discussion of the future of language learning and the need to
include digital technologies and learner-driven strategies in
education policy. This unique text: Offers practical methods for
bringing informal student learning into the classroom Presents a
wide range of engaging digital learning activities that can
