Book Description

Education at all levels will continue to be dominated by technology for the foreseeable future.

Book Description

Teaching English, or any other language, in the 21st century requires teachers to be competent in using computer-assisted language learning (CALL) to alleviate learning of subject matter and assess methods of instruction in different contexts. To be CALL competent, English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers should have acquired the seven subdomains of technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge (TPACK) regarding their subject matter before going into their teaching practice. As the learning environment evolves, technology plays a crucial role, so EFL teachers need to be well-prepared to deal with it. Therefore, English language teacher education (ELTE) should bear the onus of acquainting student teachers with all the necessary knowledge domains connecting content, pedagogy, and technology. Integrating TPACK and CALL in English Language Teaching presents the EFL context of the world and examines the underpinnings of ELTE and its connection to technology. It emphasizes that current EFL student teachers in the ELTE programs across the world should be empowered with TPACK applicable to their subject matter to integrate CALL effectively into prospective instruction. Besides foregrounding current challenges and exploring germane research in the world, the book provides an insightful examination of the field of CALL. Covering topics such as English language teacher education (ELTE), computer-assisted language learning (CALL), and EFL TPACK, this premier reference source is ideal for professionals, researchers, policymakers, and executives concerned with implementing technology integration in EFL teacher education programs.

Book Description

There is a clear tendency to consider the errors committed by learners in the process of learning a foreign language not as a negative aspect but as a natural process in the development of their language skills. In the past, teachers and researchers pondered these errors as something unfavorable, something to prevent from occurring at all costs. In order to regulate this appearance of errors, many researchers in the field of foreign language technical teaching have started to study and track the errors made by these students. Knowing the most common types of errors is an important and necessary step to inform teachers about where to direct their efforts regarding the most problematic areas students face while producing their technical writing assignments in a foreign language. Cases on Error Analysis in Foreign Language Technical Writing provides relevant theoretical foundations and the latest empirical research findings in the area of error analysis in foreign language technical writing. This book also summarizes the experience of teaching a foreign language for professional purposes in various fields of higher education.
