Course Objectives: This course covers the theories, frameworks, and practices of computer and web-based applications in foreign/second language teaching, computer-assisted language learning (CALL), paradigms, theories and research regarding the use of technologies in language teaching and online education.

Learning Outputs

The students who have succeeded in this course;
• Critique early and current research and practices in computer assisted language learning and teaching
• Evaluate a variety of approaches and theories that relate to CALL
• Develop an understanding and participate in the preparation of a course on new technologies for inservice and preservice teachers
• Compare and contrast resources, software, and tools for second language learning and teaching
• Critically discuss, analyze, and evaluate strengths and weaknesses of various CALL research, activities, practices, tools and resources
• Construct an electronic portfolio of CALL-related tasks and resources
• Complete a research project related to the use of new technologies in language teaching.

Course Content

Throughout the course, students will explore the knowledge base in the field, compile e-portfolio in the areas of telecommunications, software packages, and interactive computer applications which would facilitate the teaching and research in foreign language education. The students will be involved in analyzing and conducting research in the area of technology and language learning/teaching.
