Sounds-Write is a systematic synthetic phonics approach that has been successfully used to teach students to read and spell for the last two decades. This volume brings together twelve case studies - written by practitioners - of implementation of the Sounds-Write programme in different settings and geographical contexts (Europe, US, Australia). Through them, the authors share their experiences and evidence-based evaluations of the programme, as well as recommendations on how to make the most of what Sounds-Write has to offer.

One small drop. Just one. My face was so close to the conical beaker that condensation appeared on the glass surface with every short breath I took. My eyes were glued to the container I held carefully, tipping it inch by inch, waiting for that one drop to fall. Little did I know that what happened next would send me on an adventure. But not any normal adventure; an adventure through history. A collection of stories.

This edited collection presents a selection of contributions made to the 12th eLearning symposium, held at the University of Southampton, in January 2019. It focusses on how innovative and creative language teaching approaches can respond to modern, ever-transforming educational landscapes. Our contributors are educators from higher education across the UK and the world, and topics include: virtual reality and gamified learning in languages, digital field trips, open educational practice, massive open online courses, and telecollaboration. We hope that this volume will inspire practitioners to experiment with new responses to the challenges that technology brings into language education.

The 26th EUROCALL conference was organised by the University of Jyväskylä (JYU) Language Campus and specifically the Language Centre. The theme of this year's conference was 'Future-proof CALL: language learning as exploration and encounters', which reflects an attempt to envision language teaching and learning futures in a changing world. What brought researchers together this year are shared concerns in relation to the sustainability of language learning and teaching in technology-rich contexts that are marked by ever-increasing complexity. The collection of short papers in this volume is a very thorough view into the conference proper exhibiting the complexity and novelty of the field of CALL. There are exciting new openings and a more profound exploration of theoretical underpinnings of the contemporary issues in teaching and learning, cross-cultural communication, mobile learning and the like.
