It explains how technology mediation supports language instruction, outlines goals and teacher roles aligned with TESOL technology standards, and provides practical guidance for locating and evaluating CALL resources. The book also covers computer-mediated communication, language skills, learning environments and tools, and foundational CALL theory and research, concluding with emerging directions in the field.","An Invitation to CALL  \nFoundations of Computer-Assisted Language Learning  \nWritten by  \nPhil Hubbard  \nAn Invitation to CALL:  \nFoundations of Computer-Assisted Language Learning  \nPublished by the  \nAsia-Pacific Association for Computer-Assisted Language Learning (APACALL)  \n[www.apacall.org](www.apacall.org)  \nCopyright © 2021 by Phil Hubbard and APACALL  \nAll rights reserved.

It looks at key aspects of CALL and offers useful information, materials and resources for language teachers, teacher educators, researchers and learners. With his extensive experience in research and practice, Phil Hubbard invites readers to participate in discussions on the past, present and future of CALL.  \nAs the sixth volume of the APACALL Book Series, the book is certainly a valuable contribution to CALL communities.  \nJeong-Bae Son  \nAPACALL Book Series Editor  \nPreface  \nComputers and related technologies have become pervasive in our lives and those of our students outside the classroom, but it is also important for us as language teachers to understand their role in language instruction. Without such a foundation, it is difficult to make informed judgments about how to incorporate technology into language classes to make certain aspects of student learning more engaging, efficient, and/or effective. This became especially apparent when many classroom language teachers were suddenly faced with the necessity to teach online with the outbreak of the COVID epidemic.  \nIdeally, a language teacher being trained today should either have one or more full courses in computer-assisted language learning (CALL) or be engaged in a professional training program where the integration of technology into language teaching permeates the whole curriculum. Over time that ideal maybe met, but currently CALL training remains somewhat spotty. Furthermore, many competent practicing teachers may be interested in learning more about CALL as part of their professional development but not know how to fulfill that interest. This book aims to provide one such resource.  \nAn Invitation to CALL: Foundations of Computer-Assisted Language Learning is an e-book providing a short introduction to the field of CALL. It has been drawn almost entirely from a website designed to complement inclass instruction of a CALL \"mini course\" that I taught annually beginning in 1998. This was an optional 1-unit seminar connected to an ESL methodology course at Stanford University, Linguistics 291: Linguistics and the Teaching of English as a Second or Foreign Language (see  \n[https://web.stanford.edu/](https://web.stanford.edu/)~efs/ling291/call.html).
