Find in Library

Bhatia and Ritchie’s (2009) book chapter provides an extensive review of the core issues pertaining to second language (L2) acquisition in the information age. It also reiterates the influence of information technology on second language education. Technology, with all its merits, has “brought about a new generation of information and language learning tools” (p. 547). This is so be it used online or offline, inside or outside of the classroom, synchronously or asynchronously.
