Multimedia CALL (Book)

Theory and Practice

Edited by Keith Cameron

This collection of essays presents a timely contribution to current research on the use and development of Multimedia in Computer-Assisted Language Learning. The papers, which we were given in Exeter at the seventh biennial international CALL Conference, are essential reading for all those who wish to keep abreast of the 'state-of-the-art' and who seek ideas for new avenues of research.
