Farr Fiona (editor) - The Routledge Handbook of Language Learning and Technology

The exponential growth and development of modern technologies in all sectors has made it increasingly difficult for students, teachers and teacher educators to know which technologies to employ and how best to take advantage of them.

The Routledge Handbook of Language Learning and Technology brings together experts in a number of key areas of development and change, and opens the field of language learning by exploring the pedagogical importance of technological innovation. The handbook is structured around six themes:

• historical and conceptual contexts
• core issues
• interactive and collaborative technologies for language learning
• corpora and data-driven learning
• gaming and language learning
• purpose designed language learning resources.

Led by fundamental concepts, theories and frameworks from language learning and teaching research rather than by specific technologies, this handbook is the essential reference for all teachers, researchers and advanced students of Language Learning, Language Teacher Education, TESOL and Applied Linguistics.

Fiona Farr is senior lecturer in TESOL at the University of Limerick. She is author of The Discourse of Teaching Practice Feedback (2011) and Practice in TESOL (2015).

Liam Murray lectures in French and language technologies at the University of Limerick. He is the co-editor of Quality Issues in ICT Integration: Third Level Disciplines and Learning Contexts (with T. Hourigan and E. Riordan, 2011).

Routledge Handbooks in Applied Linguistics provide comprehensive overviews of the key topics in applied linguistics. All entries for the handbooks are specially commissioned and written by leading scholars in the field. Clear, accessible and carefully edited Routledge Handbooks in Applied Linguistics are the ideal resource for both advanced undergraduates and postgraduate students.
