This volume offers a comprehensive, up-to-date, empirical and methodological view over the new scenarios and environments for language teaching and learning recently emerged (e.g. blended learning, e-learning, ubiquitous learning, social learning, autonomous learning or lifelong learning), and also over some of the new approaches to language teaching and/or research that can support them (usually by applying ICT), such as Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL), Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL), Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), or Language Massive Open Online Courses (LMOOCs). This book is geared to those undertaking language teaching for the first time or willing to try new perspectives and methods in their courses. The following sections and papers are included: (1) Applying information and communication technologies to language teaching and research: an overview (Antonio Pareja-Lora, Pilar Rodríguez-Arancón, and Cristina Calle-Martínez). Section 1. General applications of ICTs to language teaching and learning. Section 1.1. E-learning and languages in primary/secondary/tertiary education; (2) 27 Technology use in nursery and primary education in two different settings (Mª Camino Bueno Alastuey and Jesús García Laborda); (3) How working collaboratively with technology can foster a creative learning environment (Susana Gómez); (4) The e-generation: the use of technology for foreign language learning (Pilar Gonzalez-Vera); (5) Evaluation of reading achievement of the program school 2.0 in Spain using PISA 2012 (Cristina Vilaplana Prieto); (6) Language learning actions in two 1x1 secondary schools in Catalonia: the case of online language resources (Boris Vázquez Calvo and Daniel Cassany); (7) Innovative resources based on ICTs and authentic materials to improve EFL students' communicative needs (Rebeca González Otero); (8) Teaching the use of WebQuests to master students in Pablo de Olavide University (Regina Gutiérrez Pérez); and (9) ICTs, ESPs and ZPD through microlessons in teacher education (Soraya García Esteban, Jesús García Laborda, and Manuel Rábano Llamas). Section 1.2. Language distance, lifelong teaching and learning, and massive open online courses: (10) Learning specialised vocabulary through Facebook in a massive open online course (Patricia Ventura and Elena Martín-Monje); (11) Identifying collaborative behaviours online: training teachers in wikis (Margarita Vinagre Laranjeira); (12) The community as a source of pragmatic input for learners of Italian: the multimedia repository LIRA (Greta Zanoni); and (13) Grammar processing through English L2 e-books: distance vs. face-to-face learning (Mª Ángeles Escobar-Álvarez). Section 1.3. Interaction design, usability and accessibility: (14) A study of multimodal discourse in the design of interactive digital material for language learning (Silvia Burset, Emma Bosch, and Joan-Tomàs Pujolà); and (15) Audiovisual translation and assistive technology: towards a universal design approach for online education (Emmanouela Patiniotaki). Section 2. New trends in the application of ICTs to language learning. Section 2.1. Mobile-assisted language learning: (16) Mobile learning: a powerful tool for ubiquitous language learning (Nelson Gomes, Sérgio Lopes, and Sílvia Araújo); (17) Critical visual literacy: the new phase of applied linguistics in the era of mobile technology (Giselda Dos Santos Costa and Antonio Carlos Xavier); (18) Virtual learning environments on the go: CALL meets MALL (Jorge Arús Hita); (19) Exploring the application of a conceptual framework in a social MALL app (Timothy Read, Elena Bárcena, and Agnes Kukulska-Hulme); (20) Design and implementation of BusinessApp, a MALL application to make successful business presentations (Cristina Calle-Martínez, Lourdes Pomposo Yanes, and Antonio Pareja-Lora); and (21) Using audio description to improve FLL students' oral competence in MALL: methodological preliminaries (Ana Ibáñez Moreno, Anna Vermeulen, and Maria Jordano).
