Innovation in Language Learning and Teaching cover

​This book presents a unique perspective from an underrepresented region in the Global South. The volume features four different countries in the region: Barbados, Guyana, St. Lucia, and Trinidad and Tobago, as well as Martinique, an island located just north of St. Lucia which is an overseas region of France. It documents innovations in learning and teaching Spanish, French, and Chinese in the case of the English-speaking countries, and English as a foreign language (EFL) in the case of Martinique. The chapters cover different aspects of language education in the Caribbean and will be of particular interest to those involved in managing change in language education that attempts to mediate between global trends and local needs. 

“The innovations and experiences presented provide valuable and detailed first-hand perspectives, guidance, and analysis … . this book will be a crucial resource for teachers and scholars in all areas of language pedagogy and practice, including the teaching and learning of specialised languages, translator and interpreter training etc. … those considering embarking on research in the domain, will find this volume a fount of inspiration for further innovative work on language learning and teaching across the Caribbean and elsewhere.” (Antony Hoyte-West, English Studies at NBU, Vol. 9 (2), 2023)
