Routledge Handbook of AI and World Language Learning – call for chapters

Editors: Weixiao Wei and Chris Shei

The Routledge Handbook of AI and World Language Learning will explore the transformative role of artificial intelligence in language education, offering a critical and comprehensive analysis of how AI is expected to reshape the ways languages are taught, learned, and assessed.

Preliminarily divided into six thematic sections, the handbook will bridge theory, research, and practice to establish AI-driven language learning as a rigorous academic field. It is intended to serve as a vital resource for researchers, educators, ed-tech developers, policymakers, and postgraduate students.

This panel explores Michael Leong’s recent association between “documental” poetry—poetry that draws on and/or revises official or invented documents—and explorations of memory broadly construed, including forgotten historical events, the plight of unrepresented people(s), and the psychological and/or physiological workings of memory itself. How do such works define memory? To what extent are the workings of memory affirmed in these works? To what extent are processes of remembering obstructed, disrupted, or fragmented?
