"[The volume] will be of great use to academics and seasoned researchers in multiliteracies, multimodality, and educational technology. [...] It provides a balanced perspective on the affordances and risks of GenAI in language education through the lens of LbyD and multiliteracies, and points the way forward for future-ready pedagogies. For these reasons, it will be a significant educational resource as GenAI becomes more prominent in the education landscape."Mark Jun Hao Tan, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore and Katy Asem, Pontifical Catholic University of Chile in Pedagogies: An International Journal (21:2)
