Produktbeschreibung

This cross-cultural edited volume presents a rich tapestry of experiences, challenges, and innovations, focusing on assessment, course and curriculum design, approaches to pedagogy and teacher professional development in computer-assisted language learning (CALL) in the Global South.

Comprising chapters from a broad swathe of international contexts, the book presents varied themes in CALL such as inclusion and social justice, artificial intelligence, barriers to online language teaching, skills-based practices, and professional development. By shedding light on the underrepresented research contexts in the Global South, a number of current innovations in these contexts at theoretical and empirical levels are showcased, resulting in a highly novel and cutting-edge volume that gives voice to perspectives on the implementation of CALL in less-privileged countries.

Providing comparative research and innovative ways in which CALL can be harnessed in less-privileged contexts despite lack of resources in some cases, this book will appeal to scholars, researchers, and postgraduate students in the fields of technology in education, language and linguistics, as well as open and distance education and eLearning. CALL and TESOL educators may also benefit from the book.
