Teaching and Researching Computer-Assisted Language Learning

Applied Linguistics in Action

by Ken Beatty

Computers increasingly play an important role in education, particularly language learning. But Computer-assisted Language Learning (CALL) is constantly undergoing change because of technological advances that create opportunities to revisit old ideas, to conduct new research and to challenge established beliefs about the ways in which teaching and learning can be carried out both with and without a human teacher. This book offers teachers and researchers a better understanding of CALL through: CALL is a field tied closely to other areas of study within applied linguistics such as autonomy in language learning, as well as to the teaching of particular language skills. It also reaches out to other disciplines such as computer science.

به دردم نخورد، مجبور نبودم نمیخوندم.

A bit outdated , but still informative

It's to be expected for any book related to technology, as it's a fast-growing subject and very transient. But I find this book useful to learn about past research in the field of CALL.
