Language Learning And Technology 2nd Ed – Fiona Farr

These environments problematize boundaries between the ‘real’ and the ‘simulated’ and present a clear case of how overcoming the limits of perceived physical surroundings can create new perceptual limitations. For example, Pegrum and Lan (2023) point out that while augmented reality adds digital elements to our perceptions, “it may also digitally hide real-world data from our perceptions, and in fact it can do both at the same time” (p. 1).

The permeable nature of the boundaries between people and technology, and between selves and others mediated through technology, is a fourth broad area of concern for the future. Near the beginning of the chapter, we pointed to Burbules and Callister’s (2000) relational view of technology to make the point that users of technology may themselves be culturally, psychologically, and even physically changed by the technologies they use.

What is at stake for language learners and teachers may be the ability to know who they are speaking to, to know what consequences (intended or unexpected) might come of their interaction and, indeed, to know just who they are. According to Kramsch (2009), The computer has given the self procedural authority and spatial agency, it has dramatically increased the potential for distributed authorship and inter-subjectivity, it offers borderless spaces for play and creativity – but at a price.

The virtual self, together with others, must reinvent the contextual boundaries without which there can be no agency, authorship, or creativity – indeed, there can be no subject. (Kramsch, 2009: 185) Social media, collaborative writing, multimedia appropriation and mashups, identity play and anonymity are among the many phenomena of contemporary online life and learning that have led to doubts about the stability of boundaries that had previously seemed solid – notions of ‘the author’ and related notions of ‘authenticity’ and ‘plagiarism’, for instance.

From a teacher’s perspective, the blurred boundaries that accompany the use of new technologies confront us with new questions concerning how we define and assess learning, where we situate accountability, and how we instil in our students a sense of moral responsibility in the use of those technologies.

In this chapter, we have taken a glimpse into the Spanish classroom of Raquel, who returned to classroom instruction after a year of teaching remotely via videoconferencing. Along with countless other teachers during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, she benefited from the ability of this technology to assemble students into shared digital classroom spaces, where multiparty communication and collaboration were made possible. At the same time, she became aware of sometimes subtle and often consequential barriers to mutual perception and participation online, such that she felt a palpable sense of relief when returning to the physical classroom.

The Routledge Handbook of Language Learning and Technology is a comprehensive and accessible resource for teachers, teacher educators, and students navigating the rapid evolution of technology in language education. Now in its second edition, this fully updated volume reflects the accelerated integration of digital tools into pedagogical practices, particularly in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. Building on its original focus—historical and theoretical contexts, interactive and collaborative technologies, corpora and data-driven learning, and computer gaming—the handbook introduces new chapters that explore teacher development and the cultural dimensions of language learning.

Emerging voices in the field offer insightful perspectives on cutting-edge technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, advancing a balanced and accessible approach useful to students with a language background who are looking to further their education in the sector. Farr and Murray equip readers with the requisites to make informed pedagogical decisions in both academic and professional settings.
