Serious work using computers to support language teaching and
learning began in the 1960s, but it was not until the beginning of
the 1980s when microcomputers began to proliferate that groups of
practitioners began forming professional groups and a formal
identification of the field occurred. Although the early promise of
computer-assisted language learning (or ?CALL?), to revolutionize
second-language learning has not been met, the past quarter century
has seen a fascinating range of growth. This is not only because of
lessons learned from research and practice, but also due to the
rapid and continuing shifts in the technology itself.
Nominally a branch of applied linguistics, 'CALL' is truly
interdisciplinary, drawing its core concepts not only from
linguistics, but also from computer science, speech engineering,
psychology, sociology, second-language acquisition, and general
education.
This new four-volume title from Routledge will allow 'CALL'
practitioners, researchers, and students to easily access the best
and most influential foundational and cutting-edge scholarship. The
is also a comprehensive introduction to critical concepts in 'CALL'
for applied linguists and language educators interested in the
growing role of technology in second-language acquisition.
