Technology-Mediated Crisis Response in Language Studies
The COVID-19 crisis was unplanned, unprecedented, and highly unpredictable, leading educators to rethink their pedagogies, policies, practices, technologies, strategies and more.In the months and years following, educational institutions were forced to adjust to new ways of doing their work, refinements with long-term implications for language learning and teaching.Much of the early research in language education which came about as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic focused on its negative effects, such as the lack of infrastructure and preparedness (Tao & Gao, 2022), (in)equitable access for educators and learners (Back, Zavala, & Franco, 2022), perceived lowered outcomes (Moser, Wei & Brenner, 2021), and emotional burdens (MacIntyre, Gregersen, & Mercer, 2020).In this volume, we capture some of the lessons learned during and as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in order to move forward as a field with intention and purpose, and to take advantage of any crisis-prompted innovation.The volume aims to provide implications for other current and future challenges and crises that require our attention in language teaching and technology.Contributions will bring additional depth to the pandemic discussion in each of the four parts: (1) Emergency Response, (2) Problem Solving, (3) Outcomes, and (4) By-Products.

Routledge Introductions to Applied Linguistics is a series of introductory level textbooks covering the core topics in Applied Linguistics, primarily designed for those entering postgraduate studies and language professionals returning to academic study.The books take an innovative ‘practice to theory’ approach, with a ‘back-to-front’ structure.This leads the reader from real-world problems and issues, through a discussion of intervention and how to engage with these concerns, before finally relating these practical issues to theoretical foundations.Additional features include tasks with commentaries, a glossary of key terms, and an annotated further reading section. Exploring English Language Teaching provides a single volume introduction to the field of ELT from an applied linguistics perspective.The book addresses four central themes within English language teaching: ‘Classroom interaction and management’; ‘Method, Postmethod and methodology’; ‘Learners’; and the ‘Institutional frameworks and social contexts’ of ELT.For each, the book identifies key dilemmas and practices, examines how teachers and other language teaching professionals might intervene and deal with these concerns, and explores how such issues link to and inform applied linguistic theory. This second edition has been extensively revised and updated to explore the latest practical developments and theoretical insights in the field of ELT.With new material, including expanded discussions of CLIL, the role of new technologies in ELT, and the teaching of large classes in difficult circumstances, and with an updated glossary and suggestions for additional reading, this is an indispensable textbook for language teachers and students studying in the areas of Applied Linguistics, Language Teacher Education, and ELT/TESOL.

Why is there specialized language and why is so much specialized language in German predominantly Latin?
Specialized language exists to provide precise and specific terminology for particular fields or disciplines, allowing for clear communication and understanding within those areas. German has a significant amount of specialized language that is predominantly Latin-based due to the historical influence of Latin on the development of scientific, academic, and technical knowledge in Europe. Latin was the language of scholarship and education for many centuries, and as a result, many scientific and technical terms were derived from Latin and have been integrated into the German language. This Latin influence has persisted over time, leading to the prevalence of Latin-based specialized language in German.

Why are there specialized languages and why is so much specialized language in German predominantly Latin-based?
Specialized languages exist to provide precise terminology and communication within specific fields such as science, medicine, and law. Latin-based specialized language in German is predominantly used because Latin was the language of scholarship and science in Europe for many centuries. As a result, many technical terms and concepts were originally developed and documented in Latin, leading to their widespread adoption in specialized fields across different languages, including German. This Latin influence continues to be prominent in German specialized language due to the historical legacy of Latin as a language of academia and intellectual discourse.
