The Routledge Handbook of Second Language Acquisition and Technology (The Routledge Handbooks in Second Language Acquisition)

Technology- mediated language learning has matured over the past few decades, with various tools and contexts now widely used in language education for all ages and levels. Many of today’s language learners have experienced technology as an ever- present feature both within and beyond the classroom, highlighting how the role of technology has expanded into many daily activities, and underscoring how research in Second Language Acquisition (SLA) can inform and support the use of established and emerging technologies. The role of technology in language learning has continued to grow, with the recent COVID- 19 global pandemic further demonstrating the potential contributions of technology for supporting and facilitating second language development. Answering this increasing interest, this __Handbook__ provides students, teachers, and scholars with a comprehensive collection of chapters on foundational topics and key issues related to technology, SLA, and where relevant, pedagogical applications.

Intended for a broad audience, including L2 researchers, teachers, and students, this handbook addresses not only the efficacy of technology-mediated L2 learning, but also how technology has enhanced our understanding of SLA. In addition, this Handbook explores how technology might provide researchers with methodological opportunities to more thoroughly examine processes and constructs of SLA than might be available using more traditional experimental approaches (for example, intelligent CALL and the use of 'big data'). With chapters from a diverse group of global experts, this volume discusses the impact of technology on L2 learning from a variety of perspectives and approaches, providing valuable information for research and practice and serving as a wide-ranging resource on how technology can support L2 learning and development" "Technology-mediated language learning has matured over the past few decades, with various tools and contexts now widely used in language education for all ages and levels.
