CALL Essentials: Principles and Practice in CALL Classrooms
Home
: Resources
: Adult Ed
Computers and the Internet offer innovative teachers exciting ways to enhance their pedagogy and capture their students’ attention. These technologies have created a growing field of inquiry, computer-assisted language learning (CALL). As new technologies have emerged, teaching professionals have adapted them to support teachers and learners in the classroom. In CALL Essentials, seasoned practitioner Joy Egbert offers useful advice for teachers who want to integrate technology with their teaching. She begins not with computers, however, but with the classroom conditions that foster effective language learning. Taking these conditions as a foundation for effective pedagogy, she shows teachers how to use technology to create "a whole learning environment" with their students.
