| Summary: | "Teaching English, or any other language, in the 21st century requires teachers to be competent in using computer-assisted language learning (CALL) to alleviate learning of subject matter and assess methods of instruction in different contexts. To be CALL competent, English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers should have acquired the seven subdomains of technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge (TPACK) regarding their subject matter before going into their teaching practice. As the learning environment evolves, technology plays a crucial role, so EFL teachers need to be well-prepared to deal with it. Therefore, English language teacher education (ELTE) should bear the onus of acquainting student teachers with all the necessary knowledge domains connecting content, pedagogy, and technology. Integrating TPACK and CALL in English Language Teaching presents the EFL context of the world and examines the underpinnings of ELTE and its connection to technology. It emphasizes that current EFL student teachers in the ELTE programs across the world should be empowered with TPACK applicable to their subject matter to integrate CALL effectively into prospective instruction. Besides foregrounding current challenges and exploring germane research in the world, the book provides an insightful examination of the field of CALL. Covering topics such as English language teacher education (ELTE), computer-assisted language learning (CALL), and EFL TPACK, this premier reference source is ideal for professionals, researchers, policymakers, and executives concerned with implementing technology integration in EFL teacher education programs."--Publisher's website. |
