Innovation in Language Teaching and Learning cover

This book examines a wide range of innovations in language learning and teaching in Japan. Each of the chapters describes the impetus for a change or new development in a particular context, from early childhood to adult learning, details its implementation and provides an evaluation of its success. In doing so, they provide a comprehensive overview of best practice in innovating language education from teaching practice in formal classroom settings, to self-directed learning beyond the classroom, and offer recommendations to enhance language education in Japan and beyond. The book will be of interest to scholars of applied linguistics and language development, and in particular to those involved in managing change in language education that attempts to mediate between global trends and local needs.



“This timely collection showcases the many ways in which innovation happens in Japan, often spurred by global and national demographic and social transformations.” (John Bankier, JALT Journal, Vol. 43 (1), May, 2021)
