Book excerpt: Edited by: Wafa Zoghbor and Suhair Al-Alami This volume contains a selection of articles that were originally presented at the Applied Linguistics and Language Teaching International Conference and Exhibition (ALLT 2021), held at Zayed University, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, in March 2021. The articles included in this volume demonstrate high-quality contributions to the field of Applied Linguistics and language teaching in the Arab Gulf and beyond. The volume comprises eight chapters that address two key themes: best practices in teaching languages in the 21st century and the role of language education and applied linguistics in enhancing learners’ performance in the current era. The papers in this volume represent the diverse backgrounds, experiences, and research interests of the ALLT presenters. They cover a range of theoretical, empirical, and pedagogical practices with a strong emphasis on language teaching. While most of the papers focus on English language, the findings and lessons are applicable to the teaching of any language. This makes the volume an invaluable resource, addressing important aspects of contemporary research topics and the pedagogy of language teaching.
