Universities may have coped with the COVID-19 pandemic, but we argue there are still important lessons to be learnt from that experience of coping.

Given the significant and unique contributions of both in-class and out-of-class learning, pedagogical initiatives that connect learners' experiences across these two learning spheres would bolster language development. Technology can catalyse the integration. Whether and how teachers utilize this potential of technology to engage in digital…

'Taking time seriously' is an enduring human concern and questions about the nature of time bear heavily on the meaning of childhood. In the context of the continuing debates on "readiness for school," 'taking time seriously' has contributed to policies on 'early interventions' which claim to support children in reaching their full…
