This book explores how online communication technologies — such as forums, chats, real-time platforms, virtual worlds, and mobile devices — can be used for language learning and teaching. It combines theoretical discussion (on learning theories, multimodality, mediation, multiliteracies) with research-based and practitioner-oriented analyses of real online language-learning environments. The book examines learner experience, interaction patterns, assessment, and the pedagogical and methodological issues of computer-mediated communication for language learning.
