The exponential growth and development of modern technologies in all sectors has made it increasingly difficult for students, teachers and teacher educators to know which technologies to employ and how best to take advantage of them. The Routledge Handbook of Language Learning and Technology brings together experts in a number of key areas of development and change, and opens the field of language learning by exploring the pedagogical importance of technological innovation. The handbook is structured around six themes: historical and conceptual contexts core issues interactive and collaborative technologies for language learning corpora and data driven learning gaming and language learning purpose designed language learning resources. Led by fundamental concepts, theories and frameworks from language learning and teaching research rather than by specific technologies, this handbook is the essential reference for all students, teachers and researchers of Language Learning and TESOL. Those working in the areas of Applied Linguistics, Education and Media Studies will also find this a valuable book.

In this book, Farr examines the spoken and written language of post-observation teaching-practice feedback on teacher education programs. To do so, she draws upon theories from discourse analysis, conversation analysis, and pragmatics to frame the analysis of feedback meetings and written tutor reports, which are then examined using comparative quantitative and qualitative corpus-based techniques. The overall aim is to determine the defining characteristics of this genre, focusing especially on pragmatic factors, with the ultimate goal of investigating the salient aspects responsible for making feedback both effective and affective. Farr's research draws upon a spoken corpus of feedback interactions and a written corpus of tutor reports from language teacher education and is also strongly informed by data in the form of diary reflections and questionnaire responses from student teachers and questionnaire responses from the relevant tutors.

Do you want to improve your teaching practice? Do you need to know more about getting the most out of student feedback? This textbook covers all topics in preparing TESOL teachers for the practical component of their programme. Covering both the theory of reflective practice and practical techniques, this book explains the cycle of observation, planning and materials, teaching, feedback, and action. By encouraging this teaching practice cycle and raising your awareness, you will learn the practical ways in which these activities can improve your teaching performance. Activities which focus on your own knowledge and experiences are included in each chapter, alongside a selection of further reading. The real data used, including classroom interaction and feedback discourse, come from a range of different cultural contexts. On-going professional development and practice-based and action research are also explained.

Corpus Linguistics for Virtual Workplace Discourse provides a thorough and practical step-by-step guide to constructing and analysing a multi-modal corpus of virtual meetings. It draws from original data from video recordings of virtual meetings with a variety of participant profiles from various industries, alongside examples of images and transcriptions from this data to illustrate key points.This cutting-edge volume contextualises the field through previous corpus studies of interaction in a workplace context, as well as a description of various technology mediated interactions, culminating in video-mediated interaction, before outlining the cross-section of these two areas in describing the characteristics of virtual meetings. An overview of multi-modal corpus analysis provides examples and analysis of virtual meetings from a multi-modal perspective, demonstrating what is unique about virtual workplace discourse. The text concludes by presenting how multi-modal corpus analysis can aid understanding and delivery of virtual meetings through suggestions regarding meeting management. At various stages throughout the book, readers will engage with tasks that promote critical thinking at each phase of background research and data analysis. This will ensure that practical learning outcomes are achieved as well as broad insights gained into multi-modal corpus analysis of virtual meetings.This timely, prescient text is essential reading to students and researchers in corpus linguistics and any applied linguistics scholar interested in workplace communication, as well as valuable reading for any students or scholars in business communication.

The overall aim is to determine the defining characteristics of this genre, focusing especially on pragmatic factors, with the ultimate goal of investigating the salient aspects responsible for making feedback both effective and affective.

Combining corpus linguistics and discourse analysis, this book draws on a range of spoken and written data collected from a variety of contexts. It explores interaction in pre- and in-service education programs and analyses the spoken and written interactions of teachers with varying levels of experience who are adopting a range of modes of interaction. Both face-to-face and online modes of computer-mediated communication are explored. In doing so the book provides examples of how data can be approached and used to uncover social-interactional themes and issues, in relation to language teacher education and as a micro-context of social interaction in general. With coverage of both theory and practice, this book is a key resource for educators and postgraduate students in areas such as second language teacher education, TESOL, cross-cultural communication, sociology, philology, as well as discourse analysts.

This book focuses on the practice cycle, or practicum, of ELT education programmes. Practice teaching is a key component of all good ELTE programmes, and provides a forum for novice teachers to begin to cross the theory/practice divide in a way which allows them to try out ideas in a classroom setting. This typically happens after a period of theoretical induction and the observation of more experienced teachers, and can often begin in a very scaffolded way through micro- or team- teaching, before moving to more independence. At all stages of this practice-oriented process, reflection is a fundamental and obligatory underlying principle, the integration of which leads to informed decisions on change implementation to improve teaching. The book begins with a theoretical and research-informed introduction to both Reflective Practice (RP) and the practicum, followed by definitions and typologies. Various tools and sources of evidence to support the RP process during the practicum are investigated, using many data-rich examples from our own and others' professional contexts over a number of years. These are applied to observation of more experienced teachers and self-observation of one's own practice as facilitators of informed decisions for change. Finally, the process of RP as a life-long developmental practice is explored.

This book showcases recent work carried out by members of the Irish Association for Applied Linguistics (IRAAL). By focusing on the relationship between language and its users within the micro context of Ireland, the contributors generate insights which promise to open up future avenues for Applied Linguistics research, both in Ireland and beyond.The collection addresses two main themes within the field of Applied Linguistics: language learning and teaching, and the study of language and its discourses in context. In order to ensure that the volume is relevant to as wide an audience as is possible, it is not theoretically focused; rather, each chapter deals with a specific real world issue in context. The book provides an account of language problems that have arisen given the increasingly multilingual nature of Ireland, examines the current status of the Irish language and explores the potential for new technologies to enhance language learning and teaching.
