Computer-assisted learning is now common place in language teaching. Following the aims and structure of our new series, this volume will discuss research into computer assisted language learning - CALL, identifying future directions through key themes, issues and arguments. It will also introduce the subject, illustrating how CALL differs from other fields of study within applied linguistics and will address questions and concerns of those students and researchers new to the field. It will focus on current and potential practical research issues, challenging readers to familiarise themselves with recent findings and encourage them to conduct their own research.
