"This edited volume is a valuable production regarding Persian language pedagogy. It contains articles outlining a wide range of general topics, including computational approaches to language teaching, ways to integrate critical language awareness and social justice into teaching practices, the importance of improving explicit grammar instruction, applications of artificial intelligence and prospects of the technology, as well as the psycholinguistic approach to teaching Persian as a second language. It also presents some specific topics, such as challenges that diverse groups of students provide for inclusive and equitable teaching in a Persian language class, as well as difficulties particular grammatical elements and discourse markers, bring forth for teaching this particular language. The volume at hand fills a huge gap in the field of language pedagogy, in general, and Persian language teaching, in particular."Simin Karimi, Professor Emerita of Linguistics, University of Arizona."Persian Second Language Pedagogy: New Trends and Innovations" is a remarkable contribution to the expanding body of work on second language pedagogy across various languages. What sets this volume apart is its firm foundation in rigorous linguistic analysis. As a result, it holds significant value for both Persian language educators and formal linguists."Arsalan Kahnemuyipour, Professor of Linguistics, University of Toronto."The field of Persian linguistics owes a great debt of gratitude to Dr. Pouneh Shabani-Jadidi and Dr. Azita Taleghani for their Persian Language Pedagogy in which they have skillfully linked descriptive Persian linguistics to the realm of teaching Persian as a foreign, second and heritage language (TPFL, TPSL & TPHL). In this brilliant work, Taleghani and Shabani-Jadidi not only have succeeded in enriching Persian pedagogy but also have taken steps towards Persian language planning by re-codifying some of the most challenging and “leaky” aspects of Persian descriptive grammar in its entirety i.e. phonologic, morphologic, syntactic and discursive levels. Their volume has indeed pushed the boundaries of Persian theoretical and applied linguistics through its comprehensive interdisciplinary approach including their reference to corpus linguistics, psycholinguistics, and innovative technology."Negar Davari Ardakani, Associate Professor of Persian Linguistics, Shahid Beheshti University."A justified continuation of The Routledge Handbook of Second Language Acquisition and Pedagogy of Persian (Shabani-Jadidi 2020), this very impressive volume brings together the most recent trends and innovations in teaching Persian as a second language and proves that this field of study is very seriously developing, and plenty of work is yet to be carried out. The nine chapters of this book cover different and comprehensive issues in AZFA (Teaching Persian as a Foreign Language) and encompass some very recent trends in language teaching (such as Megerdoomian’s approach to teaching Persian with the help of Data-Driven Pedagogical linguistics) to some classic approaches (such as Ghaffari’s study on the grammaticalization of ‘dāshtan’ in Persian)."Behrooz Mahmoodi-Bakhtiari, Associate Professor of Linguistics and Persian, University of Tehran.
