El libro es una adaptación de una investigación presentada a la Universidad Nacional del Centro del Perú, que tuvo como objetivo comprender percepción de la comunidad educativa del grupo etnolingüístico Cashibo Cacataibo sobre el etnoterritorio en Ucayali (Perú). Se consideró como parte de esta dinámica los conflictos socio ambientales en relación al territorio e identidad. El estudio siguió un enfoque cualitativo, método etnográfico. La unidad de análisis lo constituyeron los miembros de la comunidad educativa de Comunidad Nativa Cashibo Cacataibo de "Puerto Azul". Se identificó que las percepciones del etnoterritorio no se entienden como una estructura social, compuesta por: las relaciones familiares, espacio cultural, tiempo cultural, localización, clima, topografía, suelos, población, composición de la población, natalidad, morbilidad, mortalidad, migración interna, inmigración y emigración, política demográfica, fauna, flora y recursos hídricos. Esa nula comprensión generó conflictos sociales en el grupo etnolingüístico Cashibo Cacataibo, se requiere establecer una relación estrecha con la conceptualización y valoración simbólica y política con el territorio.

The Covid-19 pandemic has directly impacted the way teachers and learners worldwide teach and learn languages, forcing numerous educational activities in technologically-deprived contexts to stop altogether and those in technologically-rich environments to go online on an emergency basis. This volume provides a collection of theoretical and practical insights into the challenges and affordances faced globally during the pandemic and lessons learnt about the application of digital technologies for language teaching and learning. The chapters explore the vital role of technology in its various forms, including the internet, social media, CALL (Computer-Assisted Language Learning), MALL (Mobile Assisted Language Learning), TALL (Technology Assisted Language Learning) and TELL (Technology Enhanced Language Learning). Topics explored include the new avenues digital technology has opened up for language teachers and learners, options and challenges in applying technology in various contexts, and how the second language education industry could have been adversely impacted at the time of the pandemic without technological affordances. The contributions showcase studies from various geographical contexts, revealing how the global crisis was received and tackled differently in Australia, Hong Kong, Iran, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, the UAE, the UK and the USA.
