Language teaching programs must adapt to the demand for distance education, as teachers strive to transfer their material onto online platforms and/or learning management systems (LMS) despite the fact that their materials were not originally designed for distance learning. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced English language teaching programs to extend their teaching online for an unforeseeable future, while also attempting to adjust their material to deliver high-quality practice. The education emergency caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for an education system that promotes flexibility and resilience to equip educators with the skills to handle unpredictable emergencies that may arise.

Transferring Language Learning and Teaching From Face-to-Face to Online Settings delves deeper into the realm of emergency language education and provides a platform for language teachers and researchers to share their experiences, thoughts, and suggestions regarding the transfer of their material and teaching approaches from face-to-face (f2f) to an online setting. The edited volume serves as a means to explore how the field of language teaching is adapting to the changes brought about by the pandemic, with a strong emphasis on the challenges encountered and strategies for moving forward. Covering topics such as digital pedagogy and teacher education, this book is an invaluable resource for instructors, faculty trainers, instructional designers, administrators, policymakers, researchers, teachers, teacher educators, and students alike.
