style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Given the current global situation, this theme is more important than ever, but even before the spread of the COVID-19 virus, increasing numbers of institutions worldwide have been investing in technology and staff development in order to enhance online learning and provide better conditions for students\u2019 learning in formal and informal learning settings. 15 international presentations examined current research and practices in technology-enhanced language learning with a particular interest in creating environments and systems whereby learners can take charge of their learning and thrive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to exploring individual learning online, we were particularly interested in how mobile technology
