Description
Scholars of linguistics and of particular languages take a psycholinguistic approach to computer aided language learning (CALL) theory and practice, highlighting the contributions of psycholinguistically-motivated research. They cover technology and second language acquisition (SLA) theory, methodological issues in technology and SLA research, empirical studies, and technology and practice. Among their topics are the language classroom in the age of networked learning, validity issues with technology and SLA research, the variable effects of level of awareness and CALL versus non-CALL textual modification on adult second language readers' comprehension and learning, and the effectiveness of type and timing of clicker-based feedback in Spanish second-language development.
