Facilitating Language Learning Through Technology: A Literature Review on Computer-Assisted Language Learning

Description

Computer-assisted language learning (CALL) can be effective in enabling learners to work autonomously, to receive individualized feedback, and to be exposed to real-world language in a range of varieties and voices. Deciding on which technology to use and then learning how to use it, however, represent onerous tasks for teachers. To make this process easier, CASLT commissioned researchers from the Language Research Centre (LRC) at the University of Calgary to review and summarize selected research on implementing CALL effectively, both inside and outside of language classrooms.
