Literacy Autobiographies from the Global South
Drawing on autoethnographic research on literacy autobiographies from a Chinese EFL writing context, this book provides unique insights into literacy, voice, translingualism, and critical pedagogy from a Global South perspective. The book presents literacy autobiographies as a cultural tool for analyzing and refashioning learners’ and teachers’ sense of self in ever expanding dialogical spaces. In addition to highlighting teachers’ own stories around autoethnographies and translanguaging, it showcases literacy autobiographies from Chinese students themselves. The book theorizes the Global South as an ontological positioning that challenges colonial mindsets and practices concerning literacy, language learning, and narratives. It argues that literacy autobiographies from a Global South perspective can be reimagined as critical pedagogy for EFL writing teaching and learning, as well as teacher development. Validating and expanding student voices by presenting these literacy autobiographies, this book will be of great interest to researchers and students in the fields of TESOL, applied linguistics, English language teaching, second language writing, and literacy studies.

The COVID-19 Pandemic, Problematic Internet Use, Post-traumatic Stress and Mental Health
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused tremendous loss of human life and disruption of normal daily activities across the globe. The COVID-19 pandemic can be traumatic and have short-term and long-term influences on individual behaviors and well-being. To contain and control the spread of COVID-19, various public health and social measures (e.g., social distancing, quarantine, isolation, and extensive lockdown of cities) have been implemented in countries worldwide. With such social and environmental changes, the prolonged feelings of fear, worry, stress, and the lack of social activities and interaction may greatly increase the prevalence of mental health issues (e.g., anxiety and depression). Nowadays, Internet has permeated into everyone’s life, which may play an increasingly important role in coping with COVID-19 related stress and anxiety. However, the increasing reliance on the Internet may lead to problematic Internet use (PIU), prolonged screen time, and sedentary lifestyles, and pose great risks to public health.
