The last two chapters deal with timeley issues [ethical and equity issues, and newly emerging technology] facing the educational field as technology brings us into the new century. . . .

We hope you'll find ways to make your computer part of your teaching and your students' learning in meaningful and authentic ways. The possibilities technology presents are endless and can only create continued excitement for the process of learning." (Preface)

Boswood, Tim (ed). New Ways of Using Computers in Language Teaching. Alexandria, VA: TESOL, 1997.

"It is a truism in the language teaching field that people learn a language by using it. People learn to communicate by communicating, and this collection reflects how teachers are currently exploiting the potential of new channels of communication to help others develop their language and communication skills.

[T]he purpose of this volume is ti illustrate the full potential of the new media in our field. I have adopted four strategies. . .:

the majority [of the activities]. . . can be implemented with quite minimal setups;

the focus is on pedagogy, not technology;

the activities. . . present ways of making use of software that you are likely to find on any workplace cumputer system;

the book includes Getting Started activities . . . devised to help newcomers orient themselves to the basic concepts in an area and get productive quickly." (Introduction, iv-v)

Egbert, Joy, and Elizabeth Hanson-Smith, (eds). CALL Environments: Research Practice, and Critical Issues. Alexandria, VA: TESOL, 1999.

"Few [CALL] texts have presented a specific framework based on second language acquisition (SLA) research. This volume fills that need.

Egbert and Hanson-Smith conceive of technology as support for a total environment for learning rather than as a tool or a source of information. Their premise is that technolgy can change what teachers teach as well as how. It can also change whom they teach, as technology reaches out to the most distant learners in the most isolated places and offers a great richness of experience.

This volume:

offers a sound theoretical framework based on ESL and SLA research;

describes theory-based practice for high-technology and low-technology environments and a variety of learners;

tackles critical issues within the CALL environment;

communicates excitement about the potential of technology-enhanced education." (Back cover)

"This volume . . . presents case studies from Europe, North America and the Middle East in which teachers have adapted and pioneered teaching innovations that range from simple additions to traditional classroom teaching to radical alternatives that change the nature of language learning and teaching. . . .

Most of these chapters report that changes wrought by technology far exceeded the designers' original intentions, often leading to new ways of teaching and learning, enhanced cooperation among teachers, the creation of more satisfying working conditions for instructors, and more self-sufficiency for students. . . .

In these technology-enhanced learning environments, learning centers, classrooms, and labs become spaces in which students and their teachers explore, create, and communicate as they learn language." (Back cover)
