Read moreJapanese is one of the most difficult languages to learn for English-speaking students, but emerging technologies are making revolutionary changes that are easing the learning curve. Learning Japanese in the Network Society addresses current issues of computer-assisted language learning (CALL) shared by language-teaching professionals in the new global network society, focusing on teaching and learning Japanese as a second language. This book is a comprehensive resource on the current status of CALL and is essential reference material for any university course in Japanese and East Asian studies.The work in this volume emerged from previously unpublished presentations by Japanese scholars at the International Conference on Computer Technology and Japanese Language education held recently at the University of Toronto.
