Although new technologies are embedded in students' lives today,
there is often an assumption that their use is transparent,
inconsequential, or a distraction. This book combines complex
systems theory with sociocultural theory and the multimodal theory
of communication, providing an innovative theoretical framework to
examine how communication and meaning-making in the language
classroom have developed over time, how technology impacts on
meaning-making, and what the implications are for learners,
teachers, institutions and policy makers. Recent studies provide
evidence for the disruptive effect of technology which has resulted
in a phase shift that is reshaping language education by creating
new interaction patterns, allowing for multimodal communication,
and introducing real-world communication into the classroom. The
book proposes ways of responding to this shift before concluding
that the new technologies are radically transforming the way we
learn. It is likely to appeal to a range of readers, including
students, academics, teachers and policy-makers.
