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.

The Routledge Handbook of Second Language Acquisition and Technology by Nicole Ziegler,Marta González-Lloret Pdf

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.

Innovations and Applications of Technology in Language Education by Hung Phu Bui,Raghvendra Kumar,Nilayam Kumar Kamila Pdf

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.

Language Teacher Education and Technology by Jeong-Bae Son,Scott Windeatt Pdf

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.

Preaching Through Time by Casey C. Barton Pdf

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.

The Routledge Handbook of Hispanic Applied Linguistics by Manel Lacorte Pdf

This book provides a comprehensive overview of Hispanic applied linguistics, allowing students to understand the field from a variety of perspectives and offering insight into the ever-growing number of professional opportunies afforded to Spanish language program graduates. The goal of this book is to re-contextualize the notion of applied linguistics as simply the application of theoretical linguistic concepts to practical settings and to consider it as its own field that addresses language-based issues and problems in a real-world context. The book is organized into five parts: 1) perspectives on learning Spanish 2) issues and environments in Spanish teaching 3) Spanish in the professions 4) the discourses of Spanish and 5) social and political contexts for Spanish. The book’s all-inclusive coverage gives students the theoretical and sociocultural context for study in Hispanic applied linguistics while offering practical information on its application in the professional sector.

The Semantics of the Future by Bridget Copley Pdf

This book builds a semantics for several kinds of future-referring expressions, including will sentences, be going to sentences, and futurates. While there exists previous work on future-referring expressions, this is the first treatment of such a variety of expressions in a formal semantic framework. Arguments presented herein explicate the meanings of these expressions, and account for similarities and differences among them. Shared is a future-oriented model with a systematic alternation between inertial and bouletic ordering sources that provide a new way of understanding the age-old future Law of the Excluded Middle, evident in all of the future-referring expressions. A difference found among these meanings is the presence or absence of progressive- or generic-like aspect in a position higher than the future modal. These very high aspectual operators affect the temporal argument of the modal's accessibility relation, with detectable effects that can be used to determine scope relations in future conditionals. Copley's analysis thus addresses a number of issues of great interest to formal semanticists, from modal and aspectual semantics, to the mapping of functional elements in the clause, to the logical form of conditionals.

Transfiguring Transcendence in Harry Potter, His Dark Materials and Left Behind by Mike Gray Pdf

Three recent and commercially successful series of novels employ and adapt the resources of popular fantasy fiction to create visions of religious identity: J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter books, Phillip Pullman's Dark Materials and Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins' Left Behind series. The act of creating fantasy counter-worlds naturally involves all three stories in the creation of what Mike Gray terms "transfigurations of transcendence": hopeful albeit paradoxical encodings of the ambiguous, non-observable reality whose primary locus in modern society is the societally extra-systemic human individual. Popular fantasy fiction turns out to involve acts of world-creation that are inherently religious and inherently paradoxical.A substantive examination shows that all three are involved in more or less intentional re-narrations of traditional Christian beliefs and narratives. The »atheist« His Dark Materials series does not deny but re-imagines the Christian visions of selfhood; the »traditionalist« Left Behind series does not simply replicate but modifies its own declared values; the apparent secularity of the Harry Potter series is shaped by its creative reception of Christian patterns and narratives. While the stories' visions of selfhood clearly clash, the basic paradoxes involved in their struggle to articulate transcendence expose significant parallels and a productive conversation with the Christian tradition.It is not simply that popular fantasy fiction is theologically relevant – the Christian Heilsgeschichte, too, proves to be highly relevant in popular culture. However, while far from obsolescent, models of religious identity in contemporary society require criticism and creativity – and, as evinced most powerfully in the Harry Potter stories, a flair for constructive engagement with paradox.
