Overview
The Routledge Handbook of Technological Advances in Researching Language Learning is the first volume to bring together the extant scholarship on the nature and role of digital technology in conducting second language research. The Handbook showcases technological advances, including issues and considerations, affecting research conduction in second language education. The contributions focus on the role of digital technology in researching second language education, second language acquisition, and applied linguistics. Contributions by both seasoned and junior scholars feature empirical studies and methodological and/or theoretical discussions of technological tools used (or tools that can be used) for conducting research into various aspects of second language learning and acquisition. This book will primarily appeal to academic specialists, practitioners, and professionals in the field of applied linguistics and second language education. The book will also be informative for scholars and professionals in disciplines such as educational technology and TESOL.

Reviews
"""Digital technology offers an increasingly rich set of tools and accompanying methods for second language acquisition (SLA) research. The Routledge Handbook of Technological Advances in Researching Language Learning brings to light the multitude of technological applications in this domain, focusing on their roles in data collection, data analysis, and language processing. It additionally includes noteworthy contributions in technology-mediated research of feedback, assessment, psycholinguistic phenomena, second language pragmatics, and language teacher education. Bolstered by a set of empirical case studies, this volume is an essential resource for both established and novice SLA researchers seeking insights into effectively harnessing the power of digital technology in their work."" - Philip Hubbard, Senior Lecturer Emeritus, Language Center, Stanford University, U.S.A ""In a world where knowledge of another language and culture can help promote global understanding and where technology has become crucial for language learning and teaching, The Routledge Handbook of Technological Advances in Researching Language Learning edited by Professor Karim Sadeghi provides an innovative and useful overview of how a range of technologies can be employed for conducting second language research today. The book brings together renowned specialists in applied linguistics and computer assisted language learning from across the globe, with their contributions focusing on what the digital technologies can offer in the context of researching language learning and teaching."" - Professor Regine Hampel, The Open University, UK ""Most handbooks are themed on research topics; this one provides valuable insights to technology-based research methodologies in language learning and teaching, drawing on many fields of research for a more cross-disciplinary perspective. The volume contains a wealth of material for novice and experienced researchers alike. A series of insightful chapters on a wide range of methodological topics from some of the biggest names in the field. The resource outlines essential considerations for researchers before embarking on any new research project, often illustrated by new research specially conducted for this volume, along with case studies, syntheses, reviews, examples, etc. The “future directions” sections common to most chapters make for enlightening reading. A must for any library in applied linguistics."" - Alex Boulton, Professor of English and Applied Linguistics, CNRS & Université de Lorraine, France"
