CALICO is pleased to announce the publication of "Calling on CALL: From
Theory and Research to New Directions in Foreign Language Teaching" edited
by Lara Ducate and Nike Arnold.

"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.
