Synopsis
The papers in this book set out to prove that computers can be a useful tool in the teaching of English and concentrate on Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) in EFL. Their importance is both in their quality and that they reflect some 20 years of research, thus making an indispensable historical document. These papers on CALL discuss a range of issues - from the more general syllabus topics to those which reflect the editor's personal concerns and enjoyment in "...playing with linguistic gadgetry". They are followed by a group of short pieces about language, which serve as a link to the final group which deal with classroom methods, unsupported by technology. Overall, this is a fascinating insight into the development of English language teaching, presented in an open and accessible fashion.
