Karim Sadeghi and Michael Thomas’ book captures this upheaval and innovation in second language teacher education. Their edited volume does an exemplary and geographically comprehensive job of documenting the impacts of pandemic-driven adaptation through technology on second language teacher education. Contributors from ten countries on six continents write about their experiences with ‘technological innovations’ that have facilitated and extended their work. The collection is as impressive for its breadth as it is time for its discussions of what can be learned about using technological tools in ELT pre-service preparation and professional development.” (Donald Freeman, Professor of Education, School of Education, University of Michigan, USA)
