Synopsis

This volume in the ALLC series offers current and soon-to-be professionals in the ESL / EFL field a comprehensive guide to how to make the best use of technology to enhance the English language learning experience. The book has a predominant focus on practical insights that are based on successful real-life experiences at the classroom and study program level, including contributions from teachers in various countries. Nevertheless, there is also a strong foundation in existing research and literature as they relate to the needs of English language teachers. To promote reflective and exploratory practice, there is plenty of 'food-for-thought' for the reader.

Although pre-service and in-service teachers represent the primary audience, the book is likely to be just as useful for language program administrators, researchers, curriculum and materials writers, and e-learning developers.

From the Back Cover:

An essential guide for pre-service and in-service English language teachers. 
Technology is everywhere and can be used for a huge range of purposes, but language teachers don’t always know where to start when trying to make the best use of technology in their own educational settings. Technology for the Language Classroom balances theory and practice, using existing research and literature as a foundation and offering practical insights based on real classroom experiences in different countries.  
Perfect for busy language teachers, this concise companion provides a comprehensive and innovative study of how to make the best use of technology to enhance the English language learning experience. In-chapter activities and suggested further reading threaded through the book allow teachers and learners to immediately start implementing their own technological approaches to the English language. di
