Book Description
In the five years since the first edition, the field of CALL has advanced and new technologies now offer even more opportunities for language educators and students, and researchers have expanded our understanding of what it means to teach and learn with technology. This updated edition is revised both in terms of organization and content. There are chapters centered around the ACTFL Standards' 5 Cs, and also updated chapters on original topics such as an overview of technology and CALL, the connection between CALL and theories of second language acquisition and pedagogy, courseware evaluation, assessment, and pronunciation.

Book Description
Technology- mediated language learning has matured over the past few decades, with various tools and contexts now widely used in language education for all ages and levels. Many of today’s language learners have experienced technology as an ever- present feature both within and beyond the classroom, highlighting how the role of technology has expanded into many daily activities, and underscoring how research in Second Language Acquisition (SLA) can inform and support the use of established and emerging technologies. The role of technology in language learning has continued to grow, with the recent COVID- 19 global pandemic further demonstrating the potential contributions of technology for supporting and facilitating second language development. Answering this increasing interest, this Handbook provides students, teachers, and scholars with a comprehensive collection of chapters on foundational topics and key issues related to technology, SLA, and where relevant, pedagogical applications.

Book Description
The linguistics and language education world has recently experienced a rapidly proliferating interest in applying technology. This interdisciplinary area bridges the gap between two previously separate fields. Innovations and Applications of Technology in Language Education is a collection of 12 chapters by an international group of language and linguistics education experts. Although technology in language education is a global interest, its practices should be contextualized. This book covers how language educational technology is currently applied, discusses how it should be applied, and gives directions for its future development. Providing a critical review of respective current practices and perspectives, this book begins by presenting a set of research‐based principles for developing second language teachers’ professionalism. It then examines the use of technology to enhance students’ English language skills. Acknowledging the advantages and disadvantages of AI‐mediated communication, this book argues for the use of AI to facilitate communication in language education. It also proposes the use of AI to develop and administer language tests and suggests guidelines for practitioners to deploy AI in developing and administering language tests efficiently. This book concludes by discussing technology for specific purposes in second language education and the potential of computer‐mediated communication (CMC) to enhance interaction between students.

Book Description
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.

Book Description
Contemporary Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) is a comprehensive, one-volume work written by leading international figures in the field focusing on a wide range of theoretical and methodological issues. It explains key terms and concepts, synthesizes the research literature and explores the implications of new and emerging technologies. The book includes chapters on key aspects for CALL such as design, teacher education, evaluation, teaching online and testing, as well as new trends such as social media. The volume takes a broad look at CALL and explores how a variety of theoretical approaches have emerged as influences including socio-cultural theory, constructivism and new literacy studies. A glossary of terms to support those new to CALL as well as to allow those already engaged in the field to deepen their existing knowledge is also provided. Contemporary Computer-Assisted Language Learning is essential reading for postgraduate students of language teaching as well as researchers in related fields involved in the study of computer-assisted learning.

Book Description
As preachers who come to the pulpit, before God and before God's people, each and every week, how do we make sense of the text as we live a new moment of its ongoing story? Most options available to the preacher necessitate a hermeneutical step that requires us to preach outside of time in timeless truths, experiences, or realities. But the gospel is the drama of God appearing to and working with and loving God's people in time. Preaching Through Time gives the preacher a timely homiletic for preaching together the times of God's gospel, then and now, while calling God's people to perform their own roles in today's moment of that gospel drama. Anachronism, preaching together the moments of God's drama, is the language event that will get us from text to timely sermon, week by week.
