Resumen
The book is organized into two parts. Part I ―ICT tools in linguistic studies, begins with a general description of methods and tools that are currently used in corpus linguistics, and then moves into some areas of contemporary interest, including specific corpus tools for assessing lexical development and tools for text processing and genre analysis. It also discusses issues of a more pedagogical standpoint.
In Part II ― ICT applications in language teaching and learning", the authors are mainly concerned with providing examples of the application of various tools to the teaching of different areas of English, both to undergraduate and graduate students. It begins with a discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of the use of ICT in foreign language teaching in general and moves into specific projects using atlases, websites, apps and webquests aimed at the teaching of specific skills such as listening, reading and speaking as well as to the linguistic material. There is one project that shows how Digital Libraries can be used to develop academic English skills. Furthermore, there are proposals geared towards the teaching of the history and literature of English speaking countries and intercultural communication at large. The proposals and projects described in both chapters are diverse and quite useful.
