New
Perspectives on CALL for Second Language Classrooms is a
practical handbook for language teachers, teacher trainers, and
students who want to learn more about their options for using CALL as
well as to develop an understanding of the theory and research
supporting these options. The chapters integrate theoretical issues,
research findings, and practical guidelines on different aspects of
CALL in order to provide teachers with multiple levels of resources
for their personal development, their needs-based creation of specific
CALL activities, their curriculum design, and their implementation of
institutional and inter-institutional CALL projects. |

The book is
organized into five sections. Part I discusses theoretical and
descriptive approaches to CALL by reviewing literature and trends in
the field, and includes three overview chapters. Part II contains six
“how to” chapters for the second/foreign language classroom. The three
chapters in Part III addresses CALL within the institutional setting
and Part IV presents two models for evaluating CALL. In Part V the
concluding chapter sums up the contributions of the book to CALL
theory and practice by relating the chapters to current research and
pedagogy. |
