Research in Technology and Second Language Education
This book resulted from two projects I happened to be involved in over the past few years. These projects, albeit quite different in nature, revealed the need for a collection of available exemplary studies that empirically investigated the use of technology for language education. The first project took place in 2000 when I was asked to offer a doctoral seminar on computerassisted language learning (CALL) at Michigan State University. To prepare for the seminar, I spent quite an amount of time looking for a textbook that could provide my students a set of materials that would (a) give them a comprehensive picture of the field, of what has been done, and of how technology, not only computers, has been used to enhance language education; (b) serve as examples of high-quality empirical research in CALL; and (c) highlight emerging trends in technology and language education. Although I was eventually able to locate a number of articles and book chapters that met the expectations, I was unable to find a single book that did the job.
