In response to the inquiry about textbooks on technology and language
teaching, CALICO published just such a textbook edited by Lara Ducate and
Nike Arnold entitled "Calling on CALL: From theory and research to new
directions in foreign language teaching." The blurb below gives a fairly
well detailed description of the book
"Calling on CALL" is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of the
field of computer-assisted language learning (CALL). As such, it is an
ideal book for newcomers to the field and for use in courses in CALL,
foreign language education, educational technology, instructional
technology, and applied linguistics. "Calling on CALL" contains 13 chapters
(plus a subject index), and each chapter focuses on a specific area within
CALL. Each chapter presents the major issues (theoretical and practical) in
the area under consideration, proposes questions to guide discussion of
these issues, and includes an extensive and up-to-date bibliography.
