Why is this?  This book elaborates on some of the existing concerns and through deft analysis of longitudinal data begins to piece together a future road map for CALL teacher education.  The book adopts a sociocultural approach, based on the principle that teaching (and learning how to teach) is a long term, complex developmental process that operates through participation in social practices that come with the territory.  Euline Cutrim Schmid highlights the need for situated and localized learning, pre-service and in-service collaboration and collaborative peer-assisted learning.  Above all of this, the book recommends and proves the efficacy of socially aware and professional reflective practice.  This is an essential sociolinguistic take on the computer learning revolution.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":56492113166709,"sku":"NGR9781350100992","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0810\/6996\/5613\/files\/9781350100992.jpg?v=1766069203"},{"product_id":"using-artificial-intelligence-in-language-education-book-wei-cai-9781350457164","title":"Using Artificial Intelligence in Language Education","description":"The book explores principled methodologies for integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into language learning and teaching.   It investigates the features of learner-AI interactions, second language (L2) acquisition theories and teaching methodologies, ChatGPT’s role in the development of the four language skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing), ChatGPT’s integration with form-focused, meaning-focused and content-based language learning, and individual differences in AI-facilitated learning. The book distinguishes itself by integrating theoretical evidence and practical applications, fostering an in-depth understanding of the application of AI in language education. By blending L2 acquisition theories and traditional pedagogy with the transformative capabilities of AI, this book offers a fresh perspective on language instruction. While the examples drawn on are from the teaching of Chinese and English as L2, the underlying principles, methodologies, and AI applications are relevant and can be directly applied to learning and teaching other languages.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":57263201091957,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":57263201583477,"sku":"NGR9781350457164","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0810\/6996\/5613\/files\/9781350457164.jpg?v=1780855221"},{"product_id":"cultural-tasks-for-digital-language-learning-book-mge-satar-9781350339439","title":"Cultural Tasks for Digital Language Learning","description":"Explaining how the cultural practices of a community can be used as the vehicle for learning its language, this book shows how two apps have been developed to deliver language learning while users are carrying out real-life cultural activities.   Many people are motivated to learn foreign languages by their interest in foreign cultures, cuisines and activities such as origami, Hallowe’en pumpkins or cooking a meal from the target culture. This book shows how these motivations can be integrated into the way we learn languages using the latest digital technology: the Linguacuisine and ENACT apps.   Written by experts in education, educational technology and applied linguistics, the book introduces the concept of the cultural task and provides a model, principles and procedures, enabling professionals in any area – including teachers and community workers – to adapt the apps to their own environment. Video tutorials on the accompanying website give users a hands-on introduction to using the apps and authoring their own cultural tasks in their own language for use by others. As such, the apps constitute a rich online repository of Open Educational Resources (OERs).    The chapters offer in-depth descriptions of how the apps were implemented in 5 different countries, with 9 different languages and cultures, and clear research evidence of the learning of cultural practices and languages through varied data sources including photographs of app use and cultural artefacts produced by users.   The editors won the 2025 ReCALL Annual Article Prize for their article Migrants’ digital skills development: Engaging with and creating digital cultural activities on the ENACT web app.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":57266997297525,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":57266997789045,"sku":"NGR9781350339439","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0810\/6996\/5613\/files\/9781350339439.jpg?v=1780879695"}],"url":"https:\/\/stage.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/advances-in-digital-language-learning-and-teaching-book-series.oembed","provider":"World of Books Staging","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
