The use of technological tools to foster language development has
led to advances in language methodologies and changed the approach
towards language instruction. The tendency towards developing more
autonomous learners has emphasized the need for technological tools
that could contribute to this shift in foreign language learning.
Computer-assisted language learning and mobile-assisted language
learning have greatly collaborated to foster language instruction
out of the classroom environment, offering possibilities for
distance learning and expanding in-class time. Recent Tools for
Computer- and Mobile-Assisted Foreign Language Learning is a
scholarly research book that explores current strategies for
foreign language learning through the use of technology and
introduces new technological tools and evaluates existing ones that
foster language development. Highlighting a wide array of topics
such as gamification, mobile technologies, and virtual reality,
this book is essential for language educators, educational software
developers, IT consultants, K-20 institutions, principals,
professionals, academicians, researchers, curriculum designers, and
students.
As a predominant teaching paradigm, foreign language learning has
increasingly been one of the crucial elements that leads to career
accomplishments for students. Due to this, foreign language
assessment has emerged as a major topic in the field of foreign
language learning. The Handbook of Research on Perspectives in
Foreign Language Assessment examines perspectives on language
assessment through reflections on classroom applications and makes
recommendations to strengthen quality language assessments by
drawing on a variety of research methodologies. It also provides a
foundation as to why foreign language assessment as a discipline
should be refocused with caution, what sort of theoretical and
practical implications should be in place for foreign language
teachers, and in what ways it may be possible to provide futuristic
perspectives on foreign language assessment for test developers and
users involved in language assessment. Covering key topics such as
testing, literacy, and language teaching, this major reference work
is ideal for industry professionals, policymakers, administrators,
researchers, academicians, scholars, practitioners, instructors,
preservice teachers, teacher educators, librarians, and students.
