Network-Based Language Teaching: Concepts and Practice
Edited by Mark Warschauer and
Richard Kern
This important new book provides a critical collection of research in on-line
communication for second language learning, including uses of electronic
mail, real-time writing, and the World Wide Web. Chapters analyze
the theories underlying computer-assisted learning, explore the contexts
that affect network-based teaching, and examine the linguistic nature of
computer-mediated interaction in both textual and multimedia environments.
Each chapter has been specially written for this collection by an individual
who has done extensive research on the topic explored. The work of these
contributors has resulted in a highly readable but in-depth analysis of
the way that on-line communication is reshaping language teaching.
Network-Based Language Teaching will be of vital interest to language educators
and researchers, as well as to readers with a general interest in
linguistics, computer-mediated communication, and education.
