Author Description

New technologies have become the predominant influence on the way we live and work at the beginning of the new millennium. The aim of the ICT in VOLL project was to consider the potential new technologies have to offer for the creation of innovative learning environments for language training for professional and specific (vocationally oriented) purposes. Each phase of the project from its outset in 2000 was geared towards setting up a resource to be made available to the VOLL community in order to put theory into practice. This booklet and CD-ROM represent a compilation of the results of the project. The main chapters deal with theoretical considerations and practical solutions to new technologies and language learning and the four focuses: teacher training, web literacy, classroom extensions and data-driven learning.--Publisher's description.
