Robert Blake, now with Gabriel Guillen, updates his successful book (1st ed. 2008, 2nd ed. 2013) on how to teach foreign languages using technology. Brave New Digital Classroom touches on all of the key concepts and challenges of teaching with technology of all kinds, focusing on issues specific to FLL or L2 learning. Originally referred to as computer-assisted language learning, CALL has come to encompass any kind of learning that uses digital tools for language learning. This book siginificantly updates and expands on the second edition reframing the conversation to account for the more integrated way technology is used in our lives. Starting at the beginning, Blake and Guillen ask, can technology help with L2? They then address the ways it can help, how to choose the right digital tools, how to use those tools effectively, finally expanding into a new area to explain how technology can impact literacy and identity. The book is primed for use in graduate courses. Key terminology is bolded and a comprehensive glossary is included. Each chapter finishes with a short list of references to consult for further reading on the topic and discussion questions. The authors will provide short interview videos (free via GUP website) to enhance discussions on the topics. Review [T]his book is well written, informative, highly readable, and relevant.--CALICO Journal From the Back Cover Language Education / Education and Technology "An indispensable introduction to the field of computer-assisted language learning that is both theoretically sound and highly practical, written in an accessible style palatable to advanced undergraduate and graduate students alike. Blake and Guillén persuasively guide language instructors on how to incorporate existing and evolving new technologies into the L2 classroom in a principled and impactful way."-Bryan Smith, associate professor of applied linguistics, Department of English, Arizona State University Brave New Digital Classroom reveals how technology can be used effectively to teach and learn a second language (L2). Robert J. Blake and Gabriel Guillén touch on the key concepts and challenges of teaching languages with technology, including which digital tools work for L2 learning, how games can be used, and what digital literacy and identity mean in the classroom. This new edition reframes the conversation to account for technology's deep integration into our lives. With the goal that students become bilingual and bicultural, the authors demonstrate how digital tools can nudge students to notice what they do not know, help them make connections to people, and enhance and encourage both play and storytelling. With core terminology in a comprehensive glossary, a short list for further reading, and discussion questions at the end of each chapter, the book can be easily adapted for classroom use or self-study. Videos of short interviews with computer-assisted language learning scholars to enhance each chapter's discussions are available at press.georgetown.edu. Robert J.
