Distance Education and Languages: Evolution and Change

This edited book is the first collection of studies dealing specifically with the teaching of languages at a distance. It contains contributions from language teaching professionals working all over the world in different contexts and at different stages of development, and covers a variety of languages. Based on practical experience and research, it includes work on learner autonomy and support; theories of distance language learning; the development of intercultural competence; methodology and course design; different learning environments and how to make best use of them, and language teacher education. These contributions have been collected together in one volume to encourage the establishment of collaborative links between practitioners in different institutions and around the world and inspire more related research in the future to guide our understanding and reflection on evolution and change within the field.Additional ISBNs1853597759, 1788920848, 1788920856, 9781853597756, 9781788920841, 9781788920858Distance Education and Languages: Evolution and Change 1st Edition is written by Author and published by Multilingual Matters (NBN).
