Educating children and leading them towards the path of bilingualism is a valuable and challenging task for any educator. Effective language teaching can contribute to young learners' cognitive growth, develop their problem-solving skills, enhance their comprehension abilities, and provide children with the satisfaction of succeeding in the challenge of learning a foreign language. All these issues must be taken under consideration when researching children and their teachers. The current literature indicates that further material is needed to provide professionals with different classroom situations and enhance the art of teaching children. Teaching Practices and Equitable Learning in Children's Language Education focuses on various perspectives of efficient practices, approaches, and ideas for professional development in the field of young language learners. The chapters in this book link the theoretical understanding and practical experience of teaching children languages by concentrating on teaching practices, material design, classroom management, reading, speaking, writing, and more. This book is designed for inservice and preservice teachers, administrators, teacher educators, practitioners, stakeholders, researchers, academicians, and students interested in the field of early language learning and applied linguistics at large.

Inclusive pedagogy adopts the premise that all students are able to learn, and practitioners are prepared to help them reach this goal. Nonetheless, the COVID-19 pandemic has prompted the field of language education to question whether the rushed changes and transfer to online learning environments supported Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). Even though inclusive pedagogy holds the potential to empower students and teachers, this matter may have been neglected in the turbulence of Emergency Remote Teaching (ERT) during the COVID-19 pandemic. The book provides readers an opportunity to reflect on key issues and current trends in promoting DEI in language learning environments. It also sheds light on research that looks at various contexts, model language learning programs, and initiatives that were taken during the COVID-19 education turbulence and their demonstrable outcomes and reproducible aims and strategies. It is ideal for professors, students, educators, and policymakers.

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought great disruption in education systems around the world, calling for many institutions to shut down and change to online teaching. Language teaching programs across the globe have responded to the call of distance education, and in the blink of an eye teachers have been challenged to transform their material on to online platforms and/or Learning Management Systems (LMS), even though their material was not initially designed with distance learning in mind. This has led to ELT programs extending their online material for the semesters to come, trying to adjust the material and deliver high quality teaching to their students. The education emergency caused by the virus has revealed that, now more than ever, the world is in need of an education system that favours flexibility and resilience to equip educators, of all sectors, to face an unpredictable emergency that may arise. The aim of the proposed book is to examine the phenomenon of emergency language education further and provide an avenue for teachers and researchers to share their experience, thoughts and suggestions about transferring their material and teaching approaches from Face-to-Face (f2f) to an online setting. The current situation in the language education community has brought a great deal of disruption and frustration among practitioners and language learners. This book examines this phenomenon further and provides an avenue for teachers and researchers to share their experience, thoughts and suggestions about transferring their material and teaching approaches from Face-to-Face (f2f) to an online setting. This book gives practitioners a voice and spotlights their efforts to keep their language teaching afloat during these trying times. Additionally, it will showcase how researchers systematically documented their data with the use of technology, evaluations and reflections, and highlight on creative research paths, which could only take place in a fully online environment.

Inclusive pedagogy adopts the premise that all students are able to learn, and practitioners are prepared to help them reach this goal. Nonetheless, the COVID-19 pandemic has surfaced previously unknown circumstances that have prompted the field of language education to question whether the rushed changes and transfer to online learning environments supported diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Even though inclusive pedagogy holds the potential to empower students and teachers, this matter may have been neglected in the turbulence of emergency remote teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic. Promoting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Language Learning Environments shares research on how instructors and teacher educators integrate DEI in their instruction. It raises awareness of the experiences and challenges of DEI in language learning environments and understands how language educators draw upon DEI, their experiences, and student needs as resources in language teaching and learning. Covering topics such as culturally responsive teaching, postcolonial language classrooms, and vernacular experience, this premier reference source is a dynamic resource for administrators and educators of both K-12 and higher education, preservice teachers, teacher educators, instructional designers, policymakers, researchers, librarians, and academicians.

Language teaching programs have to respond to the need for distance education, with teachers working to transfer their material onto online platforms and/or learning management systems (LMS) even though their materials are not designed with distance learning in mind. COVID-19 has led to English language teaching programs extending their teaching online for the unforeseeable future and trying to adjust the material to deliver high-quality practice. The education emergency caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has revealed that the world needs an education system that favors flexibility and resilience to equip educators to face unpredictable emergencies that may arise. Transferring Language Learning and Teaching From Face-to-Face to Online Settings examines the phenomenon of emergency language education further and provides an avenue for language teachers and researchers to share their experience, thoughts, and suggestions about transferring their material and teaching approaches from face-to-face (f2f) to an online setting. The edited volume offers a platform for exploring how the field of language teaching is adapting to changes that have derived from the pandemic, with a strong focus on the challenges faced and ways to move forward. Covering topics such as digital pedagogy and teacher education, it is ideal for instructors, faculty trainers, instructional designers, administrators, policymakers, researchers, teachers, teacher educators, and students.
