There is a lack of research on the subject of open education in the field of foreign language learning and teaching. To fill this gap, COERLL will sponsor an openly-licensed volume published by Multilingual Matters that seeks to (a) contextualize open education as it pertains to foreign language learning and teaching via a history of the movement along with explorations of how the open movement affects FL education beyond the classroom context, (b) explore aspects of open language learning and teaching across a range of educational contexts, and (c) illustrate new ways of creating, adapting, and curating materials that are freely shared among language educators and students.
