“Most CALL texts are technology driven, that is, they are organized around the types of activities that computers are able to do. Few have presented a specific framework based on second language acquisition (SLA) research. This volume fills that need. Egbert and Hanson-Smith conceive of technology as support for a total environment for learning rather than as a single tool or a source of information. Their premise is that technology can change what teachers teach as well as how. It can also change whom they teach, as technology reaches out to the most distant learners in the most isolated places and offers a great richness of experience. This volume: offers a sound theoretical framework based on ESL and SLA research describes theory-based practice for high-technology and low-technology environments and a variety of learners tackles critical issues within the CALL environment communicates excitement about the potential of technology-enhanced education For teachers in training, graduate and undergraduate students in TESOL methods courses, and classroom practitioners, this book will be a rich source of ideas and inspiration."
