Robert Blake, now with Gabriel Guillen, updates his successful book
(1st ed. 2008, 2nd ed. 2013) on how to teach foreign languages
using technology. Brave New Digital Classroom touches on all of the
key concepts and challenges of teaching with technology, focusing
on issues specific to FLL or L2 learning and CALL. Originally
referred to as computer-assisted language learning, CALL has come
to encompass any kind of learning that uses digital tools for
language learning. This edition reframes the conversation to
account for how technology has been integrated into our lives.
Blake and Guillen address the ways technology can help with L2, how
to choose the right digital tools, how to use those tools
effectively, and how technology can impact literacy and identity.
The book is primed for use in graduate courses: terminology is in
bold and a comprehensive glossary is included; each chapter
finishes with a short list of references for further reading on the
topic and discussion questions. The authors provide short interview
videos (free via GUP website) to enhance discussions on each
chapter's topic.
Togo wasn't meant to be a sled dog. He was too feisty and independent to make a good team member, let alone a leader. But Togo is determined, and when his trainer, Leonhard Seppala, gives him a chance, he soon becomes one of the fastest sled dogs in history! His skills are put to the ultimate test, though, when Seppala and his team are called on to make the now-famous run across the frozen Arctic to deliver the serum that will save Alaska from a life-threatening outbreak of diphtheria.
In the style of Akiak, winner of the Irma S. and James H. Black Award for Excellence in Children's Literature, along with five state awards, Robert J. Blake's detailed, carefully researched oil paintings complete the story of the adventure that inspired the internationally famous Iditarod race.

When she hurts her paw on the fourth day of the race, Akiak can no
longer compete in the Iditarod?the famed dogsledding race through
1,151 miles of Alaskan terrain. Her musher has no choice but to
leave her behind. The rules say once a dog is dropped from the
race, it may not rejoin the team. But ten-year-old lead dog Akiak
doesn't know the rules, and nothing will stop her from catching up
to her team. Akiak has never won the race before. Will she be able
to help her team win this time?
Informed by the latest research in the fields of second language
acquisition and applied linguistics, El espanol y la linguistica
aplicada responds to the central questions that lie at the heart of
learning Spanish as a second or foreign language. What does it mean
to know a language? Can technology help second language learners?
How does studying abroad promote language acquisition? Framing
chapters in terms of these and other critical areas of inquiry,
Robert J. Blake and Eve C. Zyzik examine the linguistic challenges
and pitfalls involved in Spanish-language learning and delve into
practical implications for students and teachers. Written entirely
in Spanish, some chapters focus on specific areas of Spanish
grammar that tend to pose difficulty for learners, while others
explore broad pedagogical themes related to the concept of
proficiency, the nature of input, and the impact of learning
context. Each chapter ends with a series of guided questions for
reflection and further research. Designed to address the
pre-service training needs of Spanish language professionals, El
espanol y la linguistica aplicada will also be of interest to
anyone wishing to develop linguistic expertise in this important
world language.

Brave New Digital Classroom examines the most effective ways to
utilize technology in language learning. The author deftly
interweaves the latest results of pedagogical research with
descriptions of the most successful computer-assisted language
learning (CALL) projects to show how to implement technology in the
foreign language curriculum to assist the second language
acquisition process. This fully updated second edition includes new
chapters on the latest electronic resources, including gaming and
social media, and discusses the realities and potential of distance
learning for second language acquisition. The author examines the
web, CALL applications, and computer-mediated communication (CMC),
and suggests how the new technologically assisted curriculum will
work for the foreign-language curriculum. Rather than advocating
new technologies as a replacement for activities that can be done
equally well with traditional processes, the author envisions a
radical change as teachers rethink their strategies and develop
their competence in the effective use of technology in language
teaching and learning. Directed at all language teachers, from the
elementary school to postsecondary levels, the book is ideal for
graduate-level courses on second language pedagogy. It also serves
as an invaluable reference for experienced researchers, CALL
developers, department chairs, and administrators.
