Opis

This title creates a foundation for the study and practice of computer-assisted language learning and provides an overview of ways to conceptualize and to conduct research in CALL. Its core assumptions are that all approaches to research have a place, and that researchers, teachers, and students all have a role to play in the study of computer-enhanced language learning.

Recenzje

"I read every single word of each chapter and each bibliography. I was mesmerized!...I was energized by each author and found myself often exclaiming, 'Yes! This is the research that I want to do!'....I recommend this book to a wide global audience--to teachers and students in teacher preparation programs, to novice and experienced language teachers at all levels of technical sophistication and in all language learning environments, to educational researchers, and to administrators....I predict this book will move the CALL research agenda ahead by leaps and bounds."
