<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Even though many pre-service and in-service teacher programs now address information and computer technology, computer- assisted language learning (CALL) teacher education is still reported as inadequate. Why is this? This book elaborates on some of the existing concerns and through deft analysis of longitudinal data begins to piece together a future road map for CALL teacher education.<br/><br/>The book adopts a sociocultural approach, based on the principle that teaching (and learning how to teach) is a long term, complex developmental process that operates through participation in social practices that come with the territory. Euline Cutrim Schmid highlights the need for situated and localized learning, pre-service and in-service collaboration and collaborative peer-assisted learning. Above all of this, the book recommends and proves the efficacy of socially aware and professional reflective practice. This is an essential sociolinguistic take on the computer learning revolution.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>This thought-provoking and timely book makes a significant contribution to teacher education in CALL. From its perceptive insights into theory to the innovative suggestions for practice, it charts a path forward with remarkable clarity, honesty and detail. It is highly recommended for practitioners and researchers who are interested in how teacher education can first be conceptualised and then, most importantly, be made to work.<br/>Mike Levy, Professor, The University of Queensland, Australia<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Euline Cutrim Schmid</b> is Full Professor of Applied Linguistics and TEFL at the English Department of the University of Education Schwäbisch Gmünd, Germany.
