New Technologies and Language Learning (fyi)

[cashcash at EMAIL.ARIZONA.EDU]

NSEP (National Security Education Program) is pleased to announce a recent
publication in cooperation with the University of Hawaii Press.  New Technologies
and Language Learning: Cases in the Less Commonly Taught Languages represents
accumulated knowledge, developed over seven years of funding, that we hope
will enrich your materials on language pedagogy and the
application of technology.

This compilation of case study initiatives (funded through the NSEP Institutional
Grants Program) presents a range of technology-based options for language
programming that will help universities make more informed decisions about
teaching less commonly taught languages. The eight chapters describe
how different types of technologies are used to support language
programs (i.e., Web, ITV, and audio- or video-based materials),
discuss identifiable trends in e-language learning, and explore how
technology addresses issues of equity, diversity, and opportunity.
This book offers many lessons learned and decisions made as
technology changes and learning needs become more complex.  Copies
are available through the University of Hawaii Press at
