Abstract

The Journal of Teaching English for Specific and Academic English is announcing  2015 special issue - LANGUAGE LEARNING TECHNOLOGIES.

Recent rapid advancement in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) has reflected on learning, teaching and education in general. Diverse features of the modern ICT offer enormous potential for integration with language learning, leading us towards more effective, seamless, pervasive, anywhere and anytime language learning. Language learning is no longer constrained to traditional environments, settings, methodologies, pedagogies, infrastructures, business models and approaches. Instead, thanks to the technology, language learning grows into an unprecedented new experience. However, as is usually the case with a paradigm shift, it does not come granted without difficulties, challenges and problems. This special issue calls for contributions towards a better understanding of the theoretical, practical, methodological and technical aspects of the language learning technologies and relevant research trends and societal needs.
