Re-Envisioning EFL Education in Asia is a ground-breaking collaboration that explores the challenges and opportunities of teaching and learning in Asia.

In this third book by our editorial team with teachers and researchers who live and work across the region, Asia comes into its own as a vibrant center of language teaching pedagogy and research through chapters that address contemporary 21st century issues. How borders are envisioned and drawn is critiqued through chapters that, for example, explore multiethnic China and the Asian diaspora's experiences when studying outside Asia. Its chapters speak to teachers and researchers interested in how to re-envision language teaching and learning in their own contexts. From Japan to China, from Korea to Saudi Arabia, the authors share their insights and experiences on topics such as: Critical thinking Genre awareness Intercultural communication Learner autonomy Teletandem learning Multi-agent teaching Identity construction Teacher research Extensive reading Humor competency English-medium instruction Drawing on both theory and practice, they offer a fresh perspective on how EFL education can be re-envisioned to meet the needs and aspirations of Asian learners and teachers in the 21st century. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in EFL education in Asia, whether as a student, teacher, researcher, or policy maker. ??? CHAPTERS ????
