"the search for and study of applications of the computer in language teaching and learning" (Levy, 1997: p. 1)
The integration of technology into language instruction, including computer-assisted language learning, online learning, and mobile learning.
Integration of Technology in Language Education: This topic focuses on the role of technology in the process of language learning and teaching, including the integration of new technologies into the classroom.
Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL): Computer-assisted language learning refers to the use of technological tools to assist in the development of language learning, such as gamification, Interactive Whiteboards, and Mobile-Assisted Language Learning.
Second Language Acquisition: This topic explores the process of acquiring a second language, including how technology can be used to enhance language acquisition.
Digital Literacy: The topic of digital literacy highlights the ability to use technology effectively and responsibly, which is essential for successful technology-enhanced language learning.
Multimedia Language Learning: This topic refers to the use of multimedia tools to enhance language learning, such as videos, podcasts, and online language courses.
Corpus Linguistics: Corpus linguistics is concerned with the study of language as it is used in real-life situations, using large computer databases to extract and analyze linguistic data.
Blended Learning: Blended learning refers to a mix of traditional face-to-face instruction and online learning, and it has been found to be an effective way of enhancing student engagement and learning.
Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL): MALL refers to the use of smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices to facilitate language learning, including mobile apps, games, and other educational software.
Distance Learning: Distance learning refers to the provision of education to students who are not physically present in the classroom, often taking advantage of online resources and technologies such as video conferencing and learning management systems.
Artificial Intelligence and Language Education: This topic explores the use of artificial intelligence in language education, including chatbots, voice recognition, and automated feedback systems.
Computer-assisted Language Learning (CALL): This approach uses computer-based software application programs to support language instruction.
Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL): This approach uses mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets, and PDAs to facilitate language learning.
Virtual Reality Enhanced Language Learning (VRELL): This approach uses virtual reality technology to simulate real-life situations to teach language.
Collaborative Technologies for Language Learning (CTLL): This approach uses collaborative technologies such as forums, wikis, and blogs to foster interaction and engagement among language learners.
Gamification for Language Learning: This approach uses game-based learning activities or applications to engage learners in the language learning process.
Language Learning Management Systems (LMS): This approach uses digital platforms that manage and track the progress of learners in a language learning program.
Social Media Enhanced Language Learning (SELL): This approach uses social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to facilitate language learning and interaction among learners.
Intelligent Tutoring Systems for Language Learning (ITSLL): This approach uses intelligent algorithms and computer-enabled feedback to provide personalized learning instruction.
Online Language Learning (OLL): This approach uses a variety of web-based tools and applications to support the teaching and learning of languages.
Computer-supported Collaborative Language Learning (CSCLL): This approach uses shared computer applications such as Google Docs or Skype to allow learners to work together on language learning activities.
