This unprecedented text is an indispensable tool for teachers of English language learners who want to connect the theory of language learning to technology applications and second language teaching strategies.

Tailored to one's needs, it is coherently organized around teaching and approaches with which second language teachers are familiar, including communicative, content-based, skills-based, and inquiry-based teaching. Butler-Pascoe and Wiburg leave no stone unturned and provide an extensive, up-to-date coverage of timely issues such as using technology for communicative language teaching; using technology to teach oral communication skills and reading and writing; teaching thinking and inquiry-based learning with English language learners; culture, community, and diverse learners; and using computers for assessment in second language teaching.

• Vignettes throughout the text illustrate the application of theory to real-world language learning. Scenarios provide deeper understanding of how to apply theory and how to connect technology applications to theoretical approaches in second language acquisition.

• Technology is well integrated with TESOL courses and programs by combining theory with practical classroom experience and applications.

• A goldmine of Web and software links throughout the text support easy connections between text and technology applications. Examples and print screens of software and Web sites clarify connections between concepts and technology-based learning activities.

• Chapter organizers and introductions give a clear-cut, at-a-glance overview of what is covered in each chapter at a glance.

• Charts and boxes in each chapter highlight main points and link theory to practical applications.

• Chapter summaries and “Learning Activities” at the end of each chapter provide practice in applying theories and utilizing resources discussed in the chapter.

• “Guiding Questions” interspersed throughout every chapter give students framing questions around which to organize concepts and ideas as they read the material.
