The world universities' response to COVID-19

This collection of case studies is special for several reasons. Firstly because of the geographical and institutional diversity of the authors bringing together experiences of teaching under COVID-19 restrictions in the university language classroom from 18 countries and five continents. Secondly the publication is interesting because of the variety of case studies that testify to different strategies and emphases in dealing with pandemic-related challenges. Finally the case studies collected strikingly demonstrate the creative responses of language teachers in a variety of contexts to meet the challenges of the pandemic crisis (Dr Sabina Schaffner).
