Digital Plurilingual Pedagogies in Teacher Education

Digital Plurilingual Pedagogies in Teacher Education is the first volume to bring plurilingualism, computer-assisted language learning (CALL), and language teacher education into a unified, research-informed framework. Challenging monolingual assumptions that continue to shape language education, the book presents cutting-edge empirical studies from diverse international contexts demonstrating how digitally mediated plurilingual pedagogies can transform teaching, learning, and teacher preparation.

Bridging theory and practice, the volume showcases innovative empirically informed pedagogical designs using agentive technologies, including generative AI, virtual exchange, multimodal platforms, and collaborative digital tools, to foster learner agency, social justice, and plurilingual and pluricultural competence. Contributors draw on a wide range of theoretical perspectives and educational settings, offering practical and research-based insights that are adaptable across languages and contexts.

Written for teacher educators, researchers, graduate students, curriculum developers, and both pre-service and in-service language teachers, this volume provides a timely roadmap for reimagining language education in an increasingly multilingual and digitally mediated world. This volume will be of interest to students and researchers in language education, applied linguistics, computer-assisted language learning, and teacher education.
