About a decade ago Arnó Macià, Soler Cervera and Rueda Ramos (2006) published a celebrated book on educational technology in the context of languages for specific purposes (LSP). It was the first time that a whole book was focused on the latest advancements in computer technologies and the ways they should be integrated in language teaching, learning and research. Today, there is an increased interest in computers among teachers, researchers, translators and applied linguists; however, technology has evolved so fast and so significantly in the past decade that the issues raised by Arnó Macià, Soler Cervera and Rueda Ramos (2006) have been largely replaced by completely new concerns, new needs and new goals in the field (e.g. the use of educational apps). This book, thus, addresses the latest key topics in computer-mediated communication "like a kaleidoscopic snapshot of an erupting volcano", in COLPAERT's words (see foreword to the book), and offers exciting opportunities for using the latest technological applications in the teaching, learning and translation of foreign and specialized languages. Editors and contributing authors are all experienced teachers, researchers and translators in computer-mediated communication.

Computers have had a significant presence in language teaching since the 1960s, while the obvious emerging development of "educational technology" can be established in the early 1980s. By then, this term began to obtain significant popularity, since instructional media started to get a wider impact on educational practices. Since then, terminology has shifted significantly, from the initial Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) to Technology-Enhanced Language Learning (TELL), subtly considering the fact that present computers are transforming less obvious "on the surface" while, at same time, being completely necessary. Computers lead other kinds of technology, such as audio, video and the World Wide Web, so that the current focus is on the communication which is facilitated by the computer rather than the machine itself.

Teaching with Technology 2016: Language Educators Talking Tech, 2017

In this annual volume, you will read the words and stories of educators adapting to and working with technology in ways that make their classrooms, whether virtual or traditional, better places for all stakeholders. As a professor in the Masters of Art Foreign Language Teaching Program (MAFLT), Dustin De Felice had the distinct pleasure of working with a small group of dedicated professionals who were interested in discussing, experimenting with and critiquing technology use in their classroom as well as in classrooms-at-large. The final result of this time spent together is contained in a freely available etext downloaded to most tablets, handheld devices or traditional desk/laptops. The overall volume is organized into four sections beginning with persuasive essays on specific topics within technology and classroom use and ending with reviews of technology oriented resources/article. Within the etext, these educators talk about preferences, experiences and, ultimately, classroom practices from a broad representation of languages. This broad representation of languages helped us to see practices through the eyes of our colleagues and led to greater and more inclusive discussions. Additionally, these professionals work in unique situations and they have needs and perspectives that show through in their technology choices. In fact, one of the most lasting and enduring features of the current tech explosion is the ability to personalize or individualize one's experience with electronic devices from computers to tablets to Smartphones.
