Little is, however, known about how this forced migration to and coping with emergency remote teaching (ERT) are happening in the low resource context of developing Bangladesh, particularly in the Higher Education (HE). This paper, therefore, aims to understand how virtual classrooms look like in the Higher Education context in Bangladesh through TESOL teachers’ narratives from initial virtual classrooms imparting ERT. Employing narrative inquiry, four teachers from four different public and private universities in Bangladesh share their experiences of doing, undergoing and reflecting as they try to adopt, adapt and strive in imparting ERT and carrying out education in HE. Insights from these initial teacher narratives may inform higher education pedagogies, teacher development in distance education environments in Bangladesh and similar contexts in the Global South. As the paper addresses HE teachers’ initial orientation to ERT without exclusively dealing with TESOL education, it has multidisciplinary approach to migration to and coping with ERT in HE in general.

The book New Trends and Digital Adoption: A Paradigm Shift in
Higher Education analyses present education system globally and
offers suggestions, directions and recommendations for
strengthening ICT in the future higher education system. Education
in the twenty-first century surely requires a lot of reflection on
modernisation, especially in the wake of expanding globalisation. In
light of modern information technologies, timing is indeed
propitious to focus on re-evaluating the current educational
methodologies. It is now up to educators to reconsider their
traditional roles and design appropriate modalities of education
rather than sticking to the conventional ones. The changing
environment necessitates a shift in teachers’ traditional roles, and they
must keep up with the evolving digital era if they wish to live by the
principle of ‘survival of the fittest’.

Abstract

Today’s English language teachers need to have technological knowledge
along with subject knowledge and pedagogical knowledge to facilitate the
learning process effectively and help learners achieve learning outcomes.
This chapter is designed for the practising teachers and researchers keen on
gaining insights into the use of technology in teaching English as a
second/foreign language onsite and/or online. First, it focuses on
specification and integration of technology into instruction in English
language onsite and/or online appropriately aligned with the curriculum and
assessment system of a particular English language programme. Next, this
chapter is concerned with blended learning, its major models, and its design,
adoption and application. Further, it discusses two major technological
approaches to English language teaching and learning – CALL and MALL.
The chapter also presents an overview of several commonly used online
teaching platforms and tools. Moreover, it outlines diverse online English
language teaching and learning materials including open educational
resources, websites, software and apps. Finally, the chapter encompasses a
sample activity plan to show the use of technology in English language
teaching in the Bangladesh context and other comparable settings. Thus,
this chapter purports to explain technology integration with in-person
and/or virtual English language teaching and learning, delineate blended
learning and its practices, describe CALL and MALL, sketches out different
online teaching platforms, tools and resources, and propound an activity
plan incorporating the use of technology.

Keywords: English language teaching, onsite and/or online, integration of
technology, blended learning, CALL and MALL, online platforms, tools and
resources, an activity plan

Assessment literacy and ESL/EFL teachers,

Abstract

Assessment is inseparably associated with ESL/EFL curriculum/course objectives and instructional techniques.  Achieving learning outcomes indispensably depends on proper alignment of objectives, instruction, and assessment. Assessment literacy provides essential information on dealing with the varied facets of assessment modifying objectives, enhancing instruction, and facilitating learning. Hence, to be competent in assisting learners to achieve learning outcomes, ESL/EFL teachers need acquire assessment literacy in addition to knowledge of curriculum/course objectives and instructional strategies. This paper examines the pertinence of assessment literacy to ESL/EFL teachers.

Cross-Cultural Differences in a Global “Survey of World Views”,

Abstract
We know that there are cross-cultural differences in psychological variables, such as individualism/
collectivism. But it has not been clear which of these variables show relatively the greatest
differences. The Survey of World Views project operated from the premise that such issues
are best addressed in a diverse sampling of countries representing a majority of the world’s
population, with a very large range of item-content. Data were collected online from 8,883
individuals (almost entirely college students based on local publicizing efforts) in 33 countries
that constitute more than two third of the world’s population, using items drawn from measures
of nearly 50 variables. This report focuses on the broadest patterns evident in item data. The
largest differences were not in those contents most frequently emphasized in cross-cultural
psychology (e.g., values, social axioms, cultural tightness), but instead in contents involving
religion, regularity-norm behaviors, family roles and living arrangements, and ethnonationalism.
Content not often studied cross-culturally (e.g., materialism, Machiavellianism, isms dimensions,
moral foundations) demonstrated moderate-magnitude differences. Further studies are needed
to refine such conclusions, but indications are that cross-cultural psychology may benefit from
casting a wider net in terms of the psychological variables of focus.
