Abstract

As editors, we set out in late 2022/early 2023 to develop and bring together a volume which provided a snapshot of computer-assisted language learning (CALL) work from Global South scholars, researchers and practitioners. In doing so, we intended to showcase the important yet often undervalued and overlooked work from professionals in these countries. This motivation was driven by observations we had made regarding the lack of publication opportunities available to these professionals (McCallum, 2023; Tafazoli & Picard, 2023) but it was also made off the back of observing the unique CALL challenges that exist in Global South countries and contexts more holistically (e.g., see Traxler, 2018).
