Bøker i Studies in Computer Assisted Language Learning-serien

The book investigates various aspects of Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) that address the challenges arising due to increasing learner and teacher mobility. It deals with two broad areas, i.e. mobile technology for teacher and translator education and technology for mobile language learning, and provides research on classroom practice.

This volume looks at different ways in which research and educational practice can be linked. The chapters, contributed by academics and teachers of English, explore areas of such bridge building in the area of computer assisted language learning: teacher training, material writing and sharing, course design.

This volume explores multiple dimensions of openness in ICT-enhanced education, presents a number of exemplary solutions in the area, involving the use of open source software, innovative technologies and methods, and examines potential benefits for teachers and students.

The volume discusses multiple ways in which CALL can develop and support background issues in language education, including work with mature learners, civic education, ICT affordances for ESP, professional translator training, crowdsourcing opportunities, resources, metacompetence, blended-learning and linguistic issues in online exchanges.
