Overview

While significant advances have occurred in technology-mediated teaching and learning, with teachers worldwide implementing a wide range of technology-based lessons in their classrooms, there has been considerable demand for the use of digital technologies in English-language teaching and learning contexts. Because these tools were not specifically designed for language teaching and learning, they are being adapted by teachers for use in the English-language classroom. The acquisition of knowledge and skills to encourage learner-engagement is critical for technology-mediated language-learning. It can be fostered through ongoing teacher-training, teachers' interest in modern trends of teaching the English-language, networking among English- language teachers, and cognitive presence. Digital Pedagogy in Early Childhood Language Development explores digital technology in early childhood language teaching, its importance, pedagogical beliefs, acquisition, early childhood education, information communication technology, and the role of teachers in facilitating digital play for language development. It provides theoretical and practical guidance as well as insights for university students and teachers on how to effectively utilize digital technology in language teaching. This book covers topics such as digital technology, language learning, and childhood development, and is a useful resource for computer engineers, academicians, educators, psychologists, and researchers.
