Born-Digital Texts in EFL Teaching: A Comprehensive Framework for Curriculum, Materials, and Methods Design
Born-digital texts have become an increasingly prevalent feature of the digital age, and their impact on language teaching is significant. 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 have not been an explicit focus in the context of language teaching. 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.
