Abstract:

This book looks beyond the classroom, and focuses on out-of-class autonomous
use of technology for language learning, discussing the theoretical
frameworks, key findings and critical issues. The proliferation of digital
language learning resources and tools is forcing language education into an
era of unprecedented change. The book will stimulate discussions on how to
support language learners to construct quality autonomous technology-mediated
out-of-class learning experience outside the classroom and raise greater
awareness of and research interest in this field.

Out-of-class learning constitutes an important context for human development,
and active engagement in out-of-class activities is associated with successful
language development. With convenient access to expanded resources, venues and
learning spaces, today's learners are not as dependent on in-class learning as
they used to be. Thus, a deeper understanding of the terrain of out-of-class
learning is of increasing significance in the current educational era.
Technology is part and parcel of out-of-class language learning, and has been
a primary source that learners actively use to construct language learning
experience beyond the classroom. Language learners of all ages around the
world have been found to actively utilise technological resources to support
their language learning beyond formal language learning contexts. Insights
into learners' out-of-class autonomous use of technology for language learning
are essential to our understanding of out-of-class learning and inform
educators on how language learners could be better supported to maximise the
educational potentials of technology to construct quality out-of-class
learning experience.
