Abstract:

"Engaging Language Learners through CALL" provides an updated overview of the
field of computer-assisted language learning beginning with one chapter on the
intersection of second language acquisition (SLA) research and CALL and
another on online and hybrid language courses. The next eight chapters focus
on the use of CALL for specific language skills or other learning goals and
the volume concludes with a discussion of ways to evaluate courseware and
apps. Each chapter contains preview questions, an overview of the most
relevant and recent research, implications for teaching, assessment options,
questions for reflection, case studies, and ideas for action research.

While the fundamental lens for this volume is informed practice based on key
theories and research, there are several themes that run throughout the
chapters, including how technology creates unique learning opportunities and
its ability to overcome constraints of time, space, and interlocutors, how
CALL can facilitate the integration of applications originally developed for
other purposes, and the high level of autonomous and student-centered
activities that CALL provides. As these themes demonstrate, CALL provides an
array of affordances and sometimes, challenges. It is our hope that this
volume will continue to support readers in implementing a research-based CALL
pedagogy and updating their practices as technology and research findings
develop.
