Across diverse educational and sociocultural contexts, the included studies extend current understandings of IDLE by examining its intersections with learner psychology, digital equity, pedagogy, identity, and emerging forms of AI\u2010mediated language learning beyond formal classrooms. Rather than reviewing individual articles in detail, this editorial synthesizes the shared intellectual directions that emerge across the collection, highlighting IDLE as a dynamic and context\u2010sensitive form of learning that both complements and challenges traditional instructional paradigms.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Positioning IDLE Within the Sustainable Development Agenda<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Building on the contributions, this editorial further positions IDLE within the broader framework of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Specifically, it conceptualizes IDLE as a micro\u2010level, learner\u2010driven practice with potential macro\u2010level implications for sustainable development. Through its capacity to foster linguistic competence, digital literacy, and learner agency, IDLE may contribute to advancing key SDG priorities, including equitable access to quality education, social inclusion, and lifelong learning. In this sense, the special issue not only advances scholarship on IDLE but also foregrounds its relevance as a pedagogical and societal resource in addressing global challenges in an increasingly digitalized world.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/jcal.70237","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,1]],"date-time":"2026-04-01T02:49:17Z","timestamp":1775011757000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Informal Digital Learning of English (\n                    <scp>IDLE<\/scp>\n                    ) as an Innovative Pedagogy: A Catalyst for Holistic Language Development and Sustainable Global Impact"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"42","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8037-5632","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ali","family":"Soyoof","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The Education University of Hong Kong  Tai Po Hong\u00a0Kong"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8756-0910","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ju Seong","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Education University of Hong Kong  Tai Po Hong\u00a0Kong"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5361-268X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Guangxiang Leon","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Southeast University  Nanjing China"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,31]]},"reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"387","DOI":"10.23947\/2334-8496-2024-12-2-387-397","article-title":"Students' Attitudes on the Role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Personalized Learning","volume":"12","author":"Baltezarevi\u0107 R.","year":"2024","journal-title":"International Journal of Cognitive Research in Science, Engineering and Education"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/elt\/ccaa084"},{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"351","DOI":"10.46303\/ressat.2024.20","article-title":"Skills Learnt in Youth Work Practice Necessary for the Digital Age: A Qualitative Study of NEET Youth","volume":"9","author":"Chauke T.
