ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNING AND TECHNOLOGY: LECTURES ON APPLIED LINGUISTICS IN THE AGE OF INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY. Carol Chapelle. Amsterdam: Benjamins, 2003. Pp. xv + 211. $39.95 paper.

In this volume compiled from several years of recent lectures, Chapelle synthesizes research on technology and language learning to lay bare theoretical questions of SLA and second language (L2) assessment that can be reformulated, pushed forward, and reevaluated through technology. She argues that, in order to do so, it is necessary that the field of applied linguistics “engage more consciously and proactively with the complex language-technology reality in which the profession is working” (p. xii) and that technology must not be viewed simply as a tool of efficiency in L2 research and assessment.
