This book evaluates a project where formal classroom learning of a second language was supplemented with informal, natural interactions with older native speakers of the target language, delivering a number of pedagogical and societal benefits. The authors introduce a model of intergenerational, intercultural encounters which aims to promote the use of community language resources; enrich the experiences of young learners; foster greater understanding between generations; break down cultural stereotypes; encourage appreciation of different cultures and enhance the quality of life and community engagement of older people with a bi/multilingual background. It draws on theories of language acquisition, discourse analysis and psychosocial perspectives to propose a model of language learning for students that can be used for any language or locality. It is therefore an essential resource for graduate students, researchers and language teachers as well as for education, aged and youth care policy makers, practitioners and community services workers who are interested in innovative language pedagogy.

Testing second language listening proficiency validly and reliably has always posed a challenge. In the days before the widespread availability of recorded material, tests were reliant upon the voice of the examiner. Each test administration was a unique phonetic event, with enormous variations of delivery between examiners and even within the performance of a single examiner on different occasions. The presentation was read-aloud, and the texts chosen were often those that had been written to be read (including literary extracts). The resulting input to test takers bore little resemblance to natural connected speech.

Rethinking Languages Education assembles innovative research from experts in the fields of sociocultural theory, applied linguistics and education. The contributors interrogate innovative and recent thinking and broach controversies about the theoretical and practical considerations that underpin the implementation of effective Languages pedagogy in twenty-first-century classrooms. Crucially, Rethinking Languages Education explores established understandings about language, culture and education to provide a more comprehensive and flexible understanding of Languages education that responds to local classrooms impacted by global and transnational change, and the politics of language, culture and identity. Rethinking Languages Education focuses on questions about ways that we can develop farsighted and successful Languages education for diverse students in globalised contexts. The response to these questions is multi-layered, and takes into account the complex interactions between policy, curriculum and practice, as well as their contention and implementation. In doing so, this book addresses and integrates innovative perspectives of contemporary theory and pedagogy for Languages, TESOL and EAL/D education. It includes diverse discussions around practice, and addresses issues of the dominance of prestige Languages programs for ‘minority’ and ‘heritage’ languages, as well as discussing controversies about the current provision of English and Languages programs around the world.

Rethinking Language Education in the Age of Generative AI bridges the gap between theory, research, and practice in AI and language education. Through conceptual pieces, empirical studies, and practical applications, this book provides critical insights and implications for reimagining language education in the age of generative AI. The contributors explore a wide range of issues, reflections, and innovations in AI and language education across diverse contexts, including English as a Second Language (ESL), English as a Foreign Language (EFL), foreign language learning, postsecondary pathways programs for international students, and language teacher education programs. Topics examined include critical AI literacy, GenAI-informed second language teaching and assessment, teacher and student perceptions, tool development for language learning, as well as ethical considerations, policies, and guidelines. The book incorporates interdisciplinary perspectives, such as L2/foreign language studies, education, and applied linguistics, as well as global insights from countries like the United States, Canada, South Korea, Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines. This book is essential for students and researchers seeking to leverage AI to enhance language teaching and learning in innovative, critical, ethical, and responsible ways.
