Abstract:

Brave New Digital Classroom examines the most effective ways to utilize
technology in language learning. The author deftly interweaves the latest
results of pedagogical research with descriptions of the most successful
computer-assisted language learning (CALL) projects to show how to implement
technology in the foreign-language curriculum to assist the second language
acquisition process.

This fully updated second edition includes new chapters on the latest
electronic resources, including gaming and social media, and discusses the
realities and potential of distance learning for second language acquisition.
The author examines the web, CALL applications, and computer-mediated
communication (CMC), and suggests how the new technologically assisted
curriculum will work for the foreign-language curriculum. Rather than
advocating new technologies as a replacement for activities that can be done
equally well with traditional processes, the author envisions a radical change
as teachers rethink their strategies and develop their competence in the
effective use of technology in language teaching and learning.

Directed at all language teachers, from the elementary school to postsecondary
levels, the book is ideal for graduate-level courses on second language
pedagogy. It also serves as an invaluable reference for experienced
researchers, CALL developers, department chairs, and administrators.
