Computer-Assisted Foreign Language Teaching and Learning: Technological Advances
Educational technologies continue to advance the ways in which we teach and learn. As these technologies continue to improve our communication with one another, computer-assisted foreign language learning has provided a more efficient way of communication between different languages. Computer-Assisted Foreign Language Teaching and Learning: Technological Advances highlights new research and an original framework that brings together foreign language teaching, experiments and testing practices that utilize the most recent and widely used e-learning resources. This comprehensive collection of research will offer linguistic scholars, language teachers, students, and policymakers a better understanding of the importance and influence of e-learning in second language acquisition.
Language Learning and Literacy
Teaching language learners has long presented challenges for teachers who are tasked with leading these students to a level of language comprehension comparable to that of native speakers. As the need for language learning increases, it is essential that educators devise more innovative and efficient learning strategies. Language Learning and Literacy: Breakthroughs in Research and Practice examines the trends, challenges, issues, and strategies of foreign language literacy and learning. The book also examines the relationship between language education and technology and the potential for curriculum enhancements through the use of mobile technologies, flipped instruction, and language-learning software. This two-volume publication is an ideal reference source for instructional designers, education administrators, educators, academicians, researchers, scholars, and graduate-level students interested in seeking current research on effective teaching strategies for teachers of language learners.
Digital Pedagogies and the Transformation of Language Education

Advances in Language and Education
This book examines new functional approaches to language and education, and the impact of these on literacy in the classroom. The first section looks at issues of multimodality, in which the definition of a text is expanded to include not only that which is written down, but also the interaction of writing, graphics, and audiovisual material. The contributors explores ways in which language education can be expanded to deal with multimodal discourse, whether in children's books, in textbooks, or on the web. The second section looks at how critical discourse analysis and appraisal theory can be used as tools for assessing the effectiveness of student writing and literacy achievement, and also for helping developing writers to write more successfully. The final section argues that corpus-based studies of language have changed the way we see language, and that the way we teach language should evolve in line with these changes. This appealing survey of new directions in language and education includes contributions from internationally renowned scholars. It will be of interest to researchers in systemic functional linguistics, or language and education.
