Book series: New Language Learning and Teaching Environments

What is your big idea? If you have a book inside you that is trying to get out and conquer the world, you may want to consider ‘New Language Learning and Teaching Environments’, a book series I edit for Palgrave Macmillan. Books in the series are dedicated to recent developments in learner-centred approaches and the impact of technology on learning and teaching inside and outside the language classroom. It offers a multidisciplinary forum for presenting and investigating the latest developments in language education, taking a pedagogic approach with a clear focus on the learner, and with clear implications for both researchers and language practitioners. We are currently also calling for chapter contributions to a book on 'Innovation in Language Education: The Case of the Caribbean'. You can read more here.
