Computers play a crucial and rapidly evolving role in education,
particularly in the area of language learning. Far from being a
tool mimicking a textbook or teacher, Computer-Assisted Language
Learning (CALL) has the power to transform language learning
through the pioneering application of innovative research and
practices. Technological innovation creates opportunities to
revisit old ideas, conduct new research and challenge established
beliefs, meaning that the field is constantly undergoing change.
This fully revised second edition brings teachers and researchers
up-to-date by offering: A comprehensive overview of CALL and
current research issues 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 Closely linked to other branches of study such as
autonomy in language learning and computer science, CALL is at the
cutting edge of current research directions. This book is essential
reading for all teachers and researchers interested in using CALL
to make language learning a richer, more productive and more
enjoyable task. Ken Beatty has taught at colleges and universities
in Canada, Asia and the Middle East. His publications include more
than 100 textbooks for learning English as a Second Language, as
well as various websites, CD-ROMs and educational videos.
