摘要:In the new information and technology age, digital devices and software have emerged as practical tools for facilitating language acquisition. While there is a growing body of knowledge on technology-enhanced education (Gallegos, 2022; Kaliraj & Thirupathi, 2022), there is a paucity of books that specifically delve into language teaching with technology. Using Technology to Design ESL/EFL Microlearning Activities is a compact volume that addresses this gap, showing how to incorporate technology with microlearning activities for ESL/EFL learners. As a practitioner who taught technology courses for pre-service and in-service English teachers at the Education University of Hong Kong, Lucas Kohnke attached great significance to integrating technology into ESL/EFL lessons in the post-pandemic world. With abundant first-hand experience developing microlearning activities, he believes that microlearning is a powerful option for teachers who want to optimize their students’EFL/ESL learning by utilizing bite-sized chunks of content that are available anytime and anywhere. The book provides practical strategies and user-friendly tools, making it well-suited for both new and experienced language teachers who are keen on enhancing their ESL/EFL instruction with technology-based microlearning activities. While the book aims at enhancing practice, academic researchers interested in the application of microlearning in language education might also find it informative. It unveils activities and software selections that cultivate English reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills, and enhance critical thinking and collaborative learning abilities for tech-savvy ESL/EFL learners.
