The chapters offer solutions to challenges posed by recent language policy changes, technological advancements, and changing student needs. They also include generative AI-mediated curricula innovations while highlighting the need for critical and ethical perspectives within digital technology. With contributors across Canada, China, Indonesia, Iran, South Korea, Spain, and the United States, the book offers global perspectives on second and foreign language education, teacher education and development, instructional design, and curriculum development.
