Synopsis

Computers increasingly play an important role in education, particularly language learning. But Computer-assisted Language Learning (CALL) is constantly undergoing change because of technological advances that create opportunities to revisit old ideas, to conduct new research and to challenge established beliefs about the ways in which teaching and learning can be carried out both with and without a human teacher. This book offers teachers and researchers a better understanding of CALL through:

• A comprehensive overview of CALL, fully updated to take into account the Web 2.0 revolution
• Step-by-step instructions on conducting research projects in CALL
• Extensive resources in the form of contacts, websites and free software references
• A glossary of terms related to CALL

CALL is a field tied closely to other areas of study within applied linguistics such as autonomy in language learning, as well as to the teaching of particular language skills. It also reaches out to other disciplines such as computer science.
