Language Learning in Distance Education

This is a book about distance language learning. It aims to provide an overview of the field and takes a learner-centred approach to examining key issues within distance language contexts. The book has been written at a time of rapid change: opportunities for distance language learning are expanding around the world, and are attracting the attention of the public, policy makers and new providers. Language learners and language teachers have sensed the convenience and potential of the new learning environments in terms of improved access to and delivery of language learning experiences.
