Routledge Handbook of Technological Advances in Researching Language Learning

"Digital technology offers an increasingly rich set of tools and accompanying methods for second language acquisition (SLA) research. The Routledge Handbook of Technological Advances in Researching Language Learning brings to light the multitude of technological applications in this domain, focusing on their roles in data collection, data analysis, and language processing. It additionally includes noteworthy contributions in technology-mediated research of feedback, assessment, psycholinguistic phenomena, second language pragmatics, and language teacher education. Bolstered by a set of empirical case studies, this volume is an essential resource for both established and novice SLA researchers seeking insights into effectively harnessing the power of digital technology in their work."

"Most handbooks are themed on research topics; this one provides valuable insights to technology-based research methodologies in language learning and teaching, drawing on many fields of research for a more cross-disciplinary perspective. The volume contains a wealth of material for novice and experienced researchers alike. A series of insightful chapters on a wide range of methodological topics from some of the biggest names in the field. The resource outlines essential considerations for researchers before embarking on any new research project, often illustrated by new research specially conducted for this volume, along with case studies, syntheses, reviews, examples, etc. The "future directions" sections common to most chapters make for enlightening reading. A must for any library in applied linguistics."
