This edited book brings together chapters from diverse geographical
and educational contexts to examine the question of
transnationalism in English Language teacher education. While the
activities that connect people, institutions and cultural practices
across the borders of nation-states have gained interest in fields
such as applied linguistics, TESOL and migration studies in recent
years, there has been little research so far into how
transnationalism intersects with language teacher education, and
how existing practices can be better integrated into teacher
education programmes. The authors fill this gap by introducing and
examining existing transnational practices - including
cross-cultural settings, study abroad programmes and online teacher
education - then offering multiple dialogues on mobility of
knowledge, practice and pedagogy in teacher education. This book
will be of interest to language teachers, teacher educators, and
students and scholars of applied linguistics, cross-cultural
studies, and migration studies.
TESOL Teacher Education in a Transnational World critically
examines theories and practices in contemporary TESOL teacher
education to shed new light on the intersection of transnationalism
and language teacher education. It emphasizes the scholarship of
transnational mobility of language teachers, and showcases critical
research from diverse contexts. The book fills a critical research
gap by more fully examining the theory and practice of teacher
education in a changing time when national identities and
cross-border mobilities continue to figure prominently in scholarly
discussions. Through a diverse set of epistemological, historical
and theoretical perspectives along with methodological innovations,
contributors of this volume not only index the dynamism of the
scholarship of teacher education, but they also offer new forums
for lively pedagogical debates. Featuring contributions from
diverse educational and geographical contexts, including Europe,
Asia, North America, and Latin America, the book moves the existing
scholarship forward to more fully examine TESOL teacher education
in relation to transnationalism. This book will be of great
interest to academics, scholars, post-graduate students, teacher
educators, policymakers, curriculum specialists, administrators,
and other stakeholders interested in language teacher education,
TESOL and applied linguistics

This book is an attempt to pay deliberate attention to some
silences on issues of social, cultural, and political importance
that have remained unattended in the field of Computer Assisted
Language Learning (CALL). Using an analytical framework developed
by the French philosopher and cultural theorist Michel de Certeau,
the author demonstrates how silences can actively shape the
boundaries of a scholarly field. He argues that a "geography of the
forgotten" in the field of CALL undermines the transformative and
social justice potential of language teaching by using digital
technologies. The book will appeal to graduate students, teacher
educators, and academic researchers who are looking for fresh
perspectives and innovative ideas for integrating technologies into
the curriculum and pedagogy of language education.
