This book has a number of strengths and would be a valuable addition to any introductory CALL course, as well as recommended reading for CALL researchers and evaluators. --TESL-EJ, September 2007, Vol. 11, No. 2 One of the main strengths of CALL Dimensions is that it aims at a wide cross-section of language teachers, researchers and software designers. Nevertheless, its accessible language, end of chapter summaries, and clear structure will also appeal to those new to the CALL field in search of a thorough overview. --BJET: British Journal of Educational Technology, May 2008
