Guest editorial: CALL teacher education and professional development

One of the influential factors in the success of technology integration in language education, called Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL), is language teachers’ readiness, acceptance, adaptation, and implementation of CALL in formal and informal teaching contexts. With the emergence of new technologies, literacies, and relevant pedagogies, the critical role of CALL teacher education and professional development needs further exploration. This need is emphasized by inspiring CALL researchers (see, e.g., Hubbard, 2021; Kessler, 2007; Levy, 1996).
