| Summary |
"This volume has grown out of the unique atmosphere of the 1998 inaugural WorldCALL conference in Melbourne, Australia, and provides a significant contribution to the literature in that it presents an expression of what is new and important in CALL from points around the world. It illustrates the creative and diverse ways in which language teachers and researchers are responding to the needs of their students and takes proper account of the priorities that are set by the particular educational context, language and culture. Yet amid this diversity, this collection provides evidence that a rational and reasoned response is indeed possible, as we face the challenges presented by new technologies and the new language learning environments that follow."--BOOK JACKET |
