In the last decade educational policies across the world have
recognised ICT as a key vehicle for shaping foreign language
learning at school and university. The focus of this book aims to
fill a gap in understanding the role of ICT in foreign language
learning.There is an apparent paradox in the fact that while
digital technology is endlessly innovating and improving itself as
a tool to support teaching and learning, the cognitive process of
language learning itself remains perennially the same. However, it
is also true that the medium has created new learning opportunities
which were not possible before and therefore introduces new
elements into the cognitive process of foreign language learning.
The book's overall aim of examining foreign language learning
primarily from the user's perspective (both teacher and learner) is
broken down into 2 underlying questions: How does digital
technology support existing foreign language learning needs and
processes? What new learning experiences does it entail for the
learner?More specifically, this book aims to meet the following
objectives: To situate new insights into the value of digital
technology for FL learning within the context of evidence from
prior research and of educational policy-making; To present and
examine key pedagogical uses of digital technology in relation to
effective foreign language learning by pupils; To provide an
in-depth description of the use of a range of digital media; To
combine practical ideas for teaching and learning with critical
analysis of evidence; And, to bring together analysis of
technology-focused language learning across different sectors
(secondary, university, TEFL) and in three national anglophone
contexts (England, Australia and USA). This series takes a
scholarly look at the significant impact digital technology has had
on teaching. Each book takes a different subject and discusses the
specific implications the increased used of digital technology as a
tool for learning has on their particular topic.
