Many research studies show that the use of technology inside and
outside classrooms makes teaching and learning more engaging and
motivating. Technology can provide learners with endless
opportunities, for instance, it can (a) improve the learners'
learning experience; (b) simplify access to educational resources;
(c) enhance the learners' autonomous learning; meet the learners'
individual learning needs, and (d) prepare the learners for future
career success when using it to foster the 21st-century skills.
However, the range and number of technologies currently available
can yield challenges for educators if they do not know how to
effectively integrate them into their teaching pedagogy. Therefore,
this book, Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) explores
language with technology focusing on English as a Foreign Language
(EFL) context and sharing with educators everywhere how the
effective use of technology can bring a positive transformation to
the class dynamics and the students' learning process. With that
being said, to professionally assist learners master all of the
four language skills; learners need to be able to communicate in
the target language fluently. This, of course, involves developing
the learners' language proficiency through interactions and
providing them with authentic opportunities for learning that go
beyond repetition and memorization of grammatical patterns in
isolation. To assist language learners in mastering these sets of
competencies, they need to be given the opportunities to understand
and use the language appropriately and to communicate in authentic
social environments using a variety of well-planned activities. The
effective integration of technology in language teaching and
learning could support achieving the above-mentioned competencies
and more. Luckily, there are many useful and easy to use
educational technology tools that are available for all language
teachers, educators, and learners to use during class time and/or
independently. These tools are increasing rabidly that teachers
might feel intimated and choose to avoid learning about them and
integrating them in their teaching pedagogy and instead they would
feel comfortable keeping with the traditional methods of teaching.
Therefore, in this book, CALL experts will provide language
teachers with some useful and easy to use technology tools for
teaching and learning; support the recommendation with practical
ideas such as mini-lesson plans to leverage the use of that
specific technology; and promote all or any of the learners'
21st-century skills, e.g., building strong interpersonal
communication skills, working as effective team players, thinking
and creating in an innovative way, thinking critically about what
they are doing and learning and more. The book is intended for all
language teachers and educators, language program directors and
administrators, Computer Assisted Language (CALL) coaches,
university professors, instructional technology coaches, language
instructional technology specialists, and all graduate and
undergraduate students who are interested in teaching language
through technology. Each chapter should include practical tips and
ideas to support best practices for each soft skill and language
strand with the use of technology.
