摘要:There is no doubt that technology now provides more accessible ways to reach a vibrant hub of knowledge and learning resources than ever before. Indeed, the introduction of technology in language education has created new and great opportunities for language learners and teachers. Two worth mentioning are providing real language use in class and creating more interactive classroom environments (Stanley, 2013). With recent technological advancements, the article- and book-length treatment on the integration of technology in language education has also increased at an exponential rate over the last years. Contributing to this trend, Digital language learning and teaching: Research, theory, and practice, co-edited by Carrier, Damerow, and Bailey, provides language educators and practitioners with a snapshot of contemporary research in the application of digital technology in language education, in particularly English language teaching contexts. This edited book, organized into a preface, an introduction, and 19 chapters, is grouped into two main parts: Part I, The research perspective (the first 10 chapters after the introduction) and Part II, The pedagogical perspective (the last nine chapters). Part I presents the findings of some of the doctoral research funded by Doctoral Dissertation Grants from The International Research Foundation, while Part II, written by more seasoned researchers with remarkable experience in the use of technology in language education, places a focus on key advancement in digital language learning, teaching, and assessment..
