Book Synopsis Computer-Assisted Language Learning by : Michael Levy
Download or read book Computer-Assisted Language Learning written by Michael Levy and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1997-03-20 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gives a comprehensive overview of the field including historical and interdisciplinary perspectives. Looks at the relationship between the theory and application of Computer-Assisted Language Learning. Describes how the computer is conceptualized as both tutor and tool, and discusses the implications for computer programming, language teaching, and learning. So far the development of Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) has been fragmented. The points of departure for CALL projects have been enormously varied, and when the projects have been written up, they rarely refer to those that have gone before. Michael Levy addresses this shortcoming, setting CALL work into a context, both historical and interdisciplinary. He is the first person in the field to consider CALL as a body of work. He also aims to identify themes and patterns of development that relate contemporary CALL to earlier projects. The author goes on to explore how CALL practitioners have conceptualized the use of the computer in language teaching and learning. He achieves this through a detailed review of the literature, and through the results of an international CALL Survey, where key CALL practitioners from 18 countries respond to questions on aspects of CALL materials development. Drawn from this rich source of information on actual CALL practice, Michael Levy analyses and expands on a tutor-tool framework. He shows this to be of value for a better understanding of methodology, integration of CALL into the curriculum, the role of the teacher and learner, and evaluation.
Book Synopsis Access, Equity and Engagement in Online Learning in TESOL by : Ida Fatimawati Adi Badiozaman
Download or read book Access, Equity and Engagement in Online Learning in TESOL written by Ida Fatimawati Adi Badiozaman and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-10-17 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores difficulties facing TESOL education’s transition to online learning in the Global South and Southeast Asia/Asia Pacific region, highlighting innovations of educators in engaging learners, thereby exploring the key themes of access, engagement, and equity in the field. Discussing themes such as academic burnout, cultural competence, and emotional regulation strategies in challenging educational contexts, this novel volume gives voice to field experiences encountered in countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Oman, Vietnam, China, and Iran. Chapters demonstrate how a lack of access to reliable internet connectivity and a shortage of digital devices, especially in rural areas, compound limited opportunities for students already facing educational inequalities, presenting the innovative and creative ways English educators are responding to these situations. Across interviews and qualitative studies, the book demonstrates that issues surrounding engagement with, access to, and equity within, the remote and online educational context are wider and longer lasting than the recent pandemic period itself and are at the forefront of challenges facing these regions today. Highlighting English educators’ resilience, perseverance, and creativity in challenging circumstances, the book will be of interest to researchers, scholars, and postgraduate students in open and distance education, eLearning, bilingualism/ESL, and distribution of technology in educational settings.

The Handbook of Research on Effective Online Language Teaching in a Disruptive Environment provides strong and cogent guidance in the use of pedagogically sound methods of online language instruction. This book builds an innovative knowledge base about teaching during disruptive times in the context of K-20 language learning that is supported with empirical evidence. Covering topics such as online work engagement, reflective practice, and flipped classroom methods, this handbook serves as a powerful resource for instructors of English language arts and TESOL, TESOL professionals, pre-service teachers, professors, administrators, instructional designers, curriculum developers, students, researchers, and academicians.

This book was released on 2023-05-06 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Chapter 1 presents multiple perspectives on the investigation of human personality and presents insights from a selection of studies into the role of personality in foreign language learning. Chapter 2 addresses the construct of LLS, while Chapter 3 links strategy use to other individual learner characteristics, with a focus on personality. Chapter 4 sets the methodological framework for the empirical investigation, describes the rationale for conducting the study, and includes a thorough description of analytical procedures. Chapter 5 presents the results of the study and highlights their pedagogical implications. Finally, limitations of the study are presented and some directions for future research are suggested. The monograph will be of interest to scholars investigating the role of personality in SLA as well as graduate and postgraduate students in applied linguistics.

Download or read book Digital Pedagogies and the Transformation of Language Education written by Montebello, Matthew and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2021-05-14 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Education has undergone numerous radical changes as the digital era has transformed the way we as humans communicate, inform ourselves, purchase goods, and perform other mundane chores at home and at work. Social media is one of those phenomena that has affected not only society at large but has heavily influenced educational processes around the world. The demand for and availability of networked educational services have also increased, enabling online education to gain popularity and become an internationally accessible option. Furthermore, universities and other private higher educational institutions embrace digital technology and have adopted the new learning medium as they realize the prospects of having the world’s population as a potential source of revenue. A related phenomenon has been the proliferation of massive open online courses (MOOCs). These have changed the ways in which learners interact with educational institutions, professors, and with each other. At the same time, the upsurge in digital education has raised issues with language as online learners from all over the world and from a plethora of cultures and foreign languages have found themselves challenged to take full advantage and optimally benefit from the same educational media and resources that English-speaking counterparts have tapped into. Digital Pedagogies and the Transformation of Language Education will answer questions of how to optimize language learning in such a defining new era and what the educational, sociological, and technological dimensions of radical change are. The book will explore the different challenges and the multitude of opportunities that new and transformative pedagogies have enabled. Beyond teaching/learning practices being presented, this book also focuses on how learners will adjust to the technology and the readiness of practitioners to psychologically adjust to the changing and demanding media technology has unleashed. The chapters provide international experiences and perspectives on the impact of e-educational technologies on student experience, success, learning, and comprehension in the realm of language learning specifically. This book is essential for educational technologists, online instructional designers, education policymakers and administrators, curriculum developers, practitioners, stakeholders, researchers, academicians, and students who are interested in digital language pedagogies.
