Abstract:

Language teachers' competencies in computer-assisted language learning (CALL)
are a crucial factor affecting their own implementation of CALL. However,
there is still a concern that many language teachers are not adequately
prepared to make effective use of CALL or to identify and evaluate potential
CALL solutions. This can be the result of many different factors and raises
the question of how to train teachers to develop their CALL knowledge and
skills to a greater degree.
 
The discussion of approaches to training language teachers in the use of
technology adopted in areas of Australia, the UK and the US provides valuable
insights for those already involved in this area, and inspiration for those
who have some interest in carrying out this kind of training, but as yet have
little or no experience. This book explores the current status of CALL teacher
education and discusses issues and challenges CALL teacher educators face in
their own contexts. Specifically, it looks at postgraduate CALL courses
offered at different universities to find ways of improving CALL teacher
training. It represents the first overview of a topic that is relevant to most
postgraduate courses in Applied Linguistics or TESOL across the globe. The use
of technology for language learning and teaching is increasingly common but,
as is so often the case, training for teachers in how to use that technology
remains limited, to a large extent by lack of expertise among trainers.
