TBLT is concerned with a number of macro-tasks such as information gathering and problem-solving as well as evaluative tasks, all of which are increasingly available via online and Web-based technologies. Technology Enhanced Learning refers to a broad conception of technology use in the language classroom and incorporates a range of interactive learning technologies such as Interactive Whiteboards and mobile learning devices. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe popularity of Web 2.0 technologies (blogs, wikis, social networking sites, podcasting, virtual worlds), as well as practical applications of mobile learning, place a fresh emphasis on creating project-orientated language learning tasks with a clear real-world significance for learners of foreign languages. This book examines the widespread interest in these new technology-enhanced learning environments and looks at how they are being used to promote task-based learning. This book will appeal to practioners and researchers in applied linguistics, second language acquisition and education studies.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichael Thomas is Senior Lecturer in Language\u003cbr\u003eLearning Technologies at the University of Central Lancashire, UK, and Editor\u003cbr\u003eof International Journal of Virtual and Personal Learning Environments. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHayo Reinders (www.innovationinteaching.org) is Head of Language and Learning Support at Middlesex University, London, UK, and Editor of Innovation in Language Learning and Teaching.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 272\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.56 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 07, 2012\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42717887496255,"sku":"9781441124012","price":93.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/e4a9d676620157f7eb4ca4254d040b77.webp?v=1765079995","url":"https:\/\/dhl-adrianne.myshopify.com\/products\/task-based-language-learning-and-teaching-with-technology-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
