Themes in Science and Technology Education will devote a special issue to perspectives and innovative approaches to the use of computer and information technologies in the analysis, teaching and learning of human language.
The aim of this special issue is to provide a set of high-quality scientific papers that present original empirical research, pedagogical innovations validated by research, research reviews, theoretical perspectives or practical applications. Authors are invited to submit original papers on research results or novel applications of ICT in language analysis, teaching and learning. The orientation of the papers is towards studies that take into account recent theoretical advances, empirical findings and technological developments. It is envisioned that high quality research-based products and procedures are required for advancing the science and application of human language teaching.
