Overview

A great many of the papers in this volume were first read at the Annual Meeting of the German Association of Applied Linguistics (GAL), which took place at Heidelberg University from 1 - 3 October 1987. Dr. Jung - Convenor of CETaLL, AILA's Scientific Commission on Educational Technology and Language Learning - took the opportunity to enlarge this basic stock by inviting internationally recognized scholars to contribute articles on topics which were not or only sparingly represented at the GAL meeting. With reports on the situation of CALL in more than 10 countries around the world, a comprehensive glossary of terms and articles on hard- and software in both research and practice the result comes very close to a CALL Handbook.

Reviews

This book will appeal to any reader who has some knowledge of or experience with CALL. Aside from the strong articles mentioned above, it provides: 1) an overview of CALL in 11 countries, including Canada; 2) numerous bibliographic references; and 3) a much needed glossary of terms for those who have no patience with the jargon that is a recurrent temptation to some CALL researchers. (Dana Paramskas in Bulletin de l'ACLA, Bulletin of the CAAL) Auf rund 370 Seiten hat dieses Handbuch viel anzubieten. Dem Praktiker, dem Autodidakten, der bereits selber mit CALL-Programmen im Unterricht arbeitet, bietet das Buch den bisher schmerzlich vermissten Blick ueber den Tellerrand. (Ulrich Jordan in 'Der Fremdsprachliche Unterricht')
