Abstract

In this first chapter, we briefly survey the history of the use of educational technology in language teacher education and professional development. We identify different types of digital technologies that are commonly used in training language teachers and discuss the affordances these tools offer for running teachers’ professional development programmes. We also consider the challenges and concerns in using technology for such purposes in contexts with limited access to technological resources. The chapter ends with an outline of the chapters included in the rest of the volume.
