About the Book

This practical handbook is designed to help language teachers, teacher trainers and students learn more about their options for using computer-assisted language learning (CALL) and develop an understanding of the theory and research supporting these options. The chapters synthesize previous CALL theory and research and describe practical applications to both second and foreign language classrooms, including procedures for evaluating these applications. The implementation of CALL at the institutional level is also addressed, with attention to designing multimedia language laboratories and creating collaborative CALL-based projects between educational institutions. Although many chapters locate their descriptions of CALL activities and projects within the ESL/EFL setting, the principles and activities described are equally useful for other language settings. The book does not require prior knowledge of CALL, computers or software. To assist readers, a glossary of CALL terms and an appendix of CALL Web sites are provided.

Review :
"Teachers looking for inspiration on the use of computers in their language classrooms may well find this book surprisingly useful, particularly in the second section, where the uses of CALL are addressed. Communicative language teaching is well addressed throughout the articles...the ideas and perspectives discussed in each of the articles are definitely valid, interesting, thought-evoking and useful....it brings together many approaches currently used in language classrooms and gives good rationale and logistical advice for them." —British Journal of Educational Technology "New Perspectives on CALL for Second Language Classrooms is an exemplary presentation of traditional approaches to CALL in higher education....it is effective....Both editors and several of the contributors appear to be specialists in EFL." —Journal of Distance Education "...this practical handbook is a valuable resource to guide language teachers, teacher trainers, and students interested in incorporating technology into their language classes. It also allows readers to pick and choose the chapters that are most relevant to their needs." —Modern Language Journal "...clearly written and easily accessible to the average teacher....Each chapter offers a nice mix of theory, research, and practical ideas." —Christine F. Meloni George Washington University "This volume is a succinct and well-rounded introduction to CALL that should allow a broad range of readers interested in the role of technology in L2 education to become familiar with both the theoretical background and practical applications of CALL." – Carsten Wilmes, UP 39.1-2 (Fall 2006)
