This edited volume is a collaborative project including essays by language educators from around the world. "The chapters illuminate how much language education has continued to adapt to the needs of learners around the world, taking into account a multiplicity of identities and lived experiences, from Sub-Saharan Africa to North America to East Asia. They also reveal the true passion, dedication, and patience that language can bring to their work, both in terms of helping a wide range of learners grasp skills, yet also in igniting curiosity and compassion." -Nick Gozik, from The Foreword
