Synopsis

This seminal handbook provides a comprehensive overview of the research on world language education and how that research can transform into effective and daily instructional practices for K-16 language teachers.

With contributions from leading scholars in the field, the volume addresses cutting-edge research, trends, and practice. Covering key topics in language education, the volume is organized in six sections: Teaching Methods and Approaches; Culture, Pragmatics, and Intercultural Communicative Competence; Assessment and Program Evaluation; Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the World Language Classroom; Technology Integration and Online Language Teaching and Learning; and Key Issues in World Language Instruction, including advocacy, teacher recruitment and retention, and professional development.

This handbook is an essential text for all scholars, researchers, and educators in world languages.
