First comprehensive volume to specifically explore born-digital texts in modern language teaching
This book is the first to focus specifically on born-digital texts in EFL teaching, uniting innovative scholarship with practical classroom applications. The book develops a theoretically sound framework for curriculum, materials and methods design that takes into account the growing ubiquity of born-digital texts in the digital age.
This book is the first to focus specifically on born-digital texts in EFL teaching, uniting international and innovative scholarship with practical classroom applications. The book develops a theoretically sound framework for curriculum, materials and methods design that takes into account the growing ubiquity of born-digital texts in the digital age. It covers a broad variety of born-digital text types (including those generated by AI) which so far have not been an explicit focus in the context of language teaching, while also providing a grounding in current discussions around digital tools in education. The chapters cover a wide range of issues from methodological approaches to born-digital texts to curriculum, syllabus and materials design. The book will be a valuable introduction to the subject for trainee and practising teachers, as well as teacher educators and students on EFL courses.
Chapter 7 is free to download as an open access publication and is available here: https://zenodo.org/records/11174197.

This book provides an important, stimulating and accessible new set of critical reflections and empirical research reports. The chapters, from varying contexts, focus on both theoretical and practical issues arising from the need for fundamental rethinking of educational practices still largely based on print literacy in an age of digital literacies. Highly recommended. * Geoff Hall, University of Nottingham Ningbo China *
This wide-ranging examination of born-digital texts from a variety of theoretical, linguistic and pedagogical perspectives is an important introduction both to the plethora of text types in the born-digital landscape – from tweets and hashtags to fanfiction – and to the many ways of using such texts in the classroom. The book's treatment of AI and its educational challenges is particularly timely in the post-truth society in which we find ourselves. * Amos Paran, IOE, UCL’s Faculty of Education and Society, UK *
