It traces trainees' digital practices beyond the classroom and shows how engaging in these digital practices outside the classroom afford enhanced English language performance inside the classroom. The digital tools used by the participants in the Nexus of Practice (NoP) describes by the affordances and constraints they create for language learning. The chapter describes how these digital tools connect interactions with situated forms of English by cycling through the intersecting practices and discourses in the current NoP. The teachers bring a complex set of discourses and practices to the NoP, which include both current and past views on the role of technology in teaching and learning.
