Using Technology to Facilitate Second Language Learning

This chapter discusses current issues in second language learning and also how state-of-the-art technologies are being used to assist second language learners. Five key pedagogical approaches that facilitate second language learning are presented, along with technologies used for second language learners that exemplify aspects of these approaches. Strengths of these technologies and their limitations are discussed. The chapter concludes with some recommendations for designing and implementing sustainable technologies for second language learning.
