Aud Solbjørg SkulStad (ed.)
Current issues in English teaching explores a wide array of practical and theoretical approaches to teaching and assessing English in the twenty-first century. Several of the chapters deal with aspects of technology-rich English classrooms, such as the use of VR head-mounted displays and computer technology allowing educational use of fictional films, narrative apps, digital games and AI models. The contributors also engage with approaches to extramural activities, interdisciplinary topics and multimodal texts. English students’ critical literacies is a key theme in the book.
