基本説明
One of the most outstanding features of this book is that it includes a variety of topics and perspectives that make it a comprehensive reference for teachers and researchers in the field. Thus, a single volume combines, on the one hand, theoretically-grounded studies on the application of computers in the field of LSP and, on the other, practical applications of the use of technological tools in specific teaching contexts, which can inspire readers to develop their own applications or to assess existing ones.
Full Description
I first used the Internet in fall 1993, as a Fulbright Scholar at Charles University in Prague. I immediately recognized that the Internet would radically transform second language teaching and learning, and within a year had written my first book on the topic, E-Mail for English Teaching. The book galvanized a wave of growing interest in the relationship of the Internet to language learning, and was soon followed by many more books on the topic by applied linguists or educators. This volume, though, represents one of the first that specifically analyzes the relationship of new technologies to the teaching of languages for specific purposes (LSP), and, in doing so, makes an important contribution. The overall impact of information and communication technology (ICT) on second language learning can be summarized in two ways, both of which have special significance for teaching LSP. First, ICT has transformed the context of language learning. The stunning growth of the Internet—resulting in 24 trillion email messages sent in 2005, and more than 600 billion Web pages and 50 million blogs online in the same year—has helped make possible the development of English as the world's first global language.
