Transformation of English Language Teaching for EFL: Models, Methods, and Technology Integration

This book was born from a recurring observation across English language classrooms in Indonesia and beyond: technology is everywhere, but principled understanding of how to use it for language learning is scarce. Classrooms are equipped with interactive displays, students carry smartphones more powerful than the computers that once filled entire rooms, and artificial intelligence can now generate fluent English processes on demand. Yet the fundamental question (How should these technologies be used to help people learn English?) remains inadequately answered.
The inadequacy is not due to a lack of effort. Language educators worldwide have experimented energetically with digital tools, and a substantial body of research has been accumulated on computer-assisted language learning. What has been missing, we believe, is a work that brings together the theoretical, methodological, and technological dimensions of this challenge within a single, coherent framework, one that is grounded in Second Language Acquisition theory, attentive to the diversity of EFL contexts, and honest about the ethical complexities that technology introduces.
This book is our attempt to fill that gap. It is written primarily for graduate students and academics in applied linguistics, English education, and educational technology, but we hope it will also be useful to teacher educators, curriculum designers, and reflective practitioners who seek principled guidance for navigating the rapidly changing technological landscape of language education.
Several features of the book are worth highlighting. First, it is written in English, a choice that reflects both its intended international readership and the global scope of the scholarship with which it engages. Second, the book places the EFL context, and the Indonesian EFL context in particular, at the center of its analysis rather than treating it as a peripheral concern or a minor variant of ESL. It is our conviction that the distinctive challenges and opportunities inherent in EFL settings warrant sustained analytical attention, and that Indonesia, with its vast scale, remarkable diversity, and accelerating technological development, offers an especially illuminating case. Third, the book introduces original conceptual tools, namely the PRISM framework, the APPEAL evaluation framework, and the concepts of techno-pedagogical design, the literacy ecology, and the AI ​​literacy-proficiency gap, which we hope will be of value to researchers and practitioners working in contexts beyond those in which these tools were initially conceived.
