Brave New Digital Classroom deftly interweaves results of pedagogical research and descriptions of the most successful computer-assisted language learning (CALL) projects to explore how technology can be be employed in the foreign-language curriculum to assist the second language acquisition process. Directed at all language teachers, from the school to postsecondary levels, the book is ideal for graduate-level courses on second language pedagogy. It also serves as an invaluable reference for experienced researchers, CALL developers, department chairs, and administrators. This new edition is completely updated to reflect changes in technology and the latest research on foreign language learning. It also includes a new chapter on social networking and another on electronic games in language learning. The enhanced ebook includes a video for each chapter that supplements coverage in the written text. The videos feature three talks by the author, interviews conducted by the author with Claire Kramsch and Gabriel Guillen, talks by Phil Hubbard and Paul Rama, and a discussion with two students led by Rick Kern.
