- As endorsed by leading scholars in the area (e.g. Larsen-Freeman, Cameron, Massey), this book makes an important contribution to a new ontology for technological innovations in language learning. A synthesis of 550 primary sources spanning 50 years (1969-2019) provides evidence for the disruptive effects of technology and illustrates the transformation of language learning and teaching that the new technologies promise. The results offer a critical insight into the practical implications that new tools generate, thus opening up important questions for pedagogy alongside theory and research.
