Reviews & Statements

This book offers both students and teachers good language and culture e-learning research resources, furthermore, this book is a forum to give potential teachers and researchers opportunities to suggest and participate in developing upcoming language and culture related e-learning courses.

– Maiga Chang, Athabasca University, Canada

This work offers educators a comprehensive insight into learning culture and language through e-learning. While there are a plethora of works dealing with language and culture, quality works dealing with language and culture in the e-learning classroom are few and far between. We now have this title to fill that gap in both research and practical methods for the e-learning classroom.

– Neil Heffernan, Ehime University, English Education Center, Japan

Learning Culture and Language through ICTs provides an exhaustive source of the diverse approaches involved in culture and language learning through ICTs. This reference volume is a must-have resource for academicians, practitioners, and policymakers alike.

– Bolanle Olaniran, Texas Tech University, USA

Not only does this edited collection explore possibilities into culture, language and ICTs, but it also highlights how the three of them may be blended into practice.

– Vander Viana, Queen's University Belfast

Maiga Chang and Chen-Wo Kuo both have participated in the e-learning National Science and Technology Program in Taiwan. They are knowledgeable researchers and experienced practitioners in the e-learning field. Both they and IGI Global recognize the emergence of a number of innovative instruc­tional methods used in studying cultures and learning languages. This interesting and enlightening book surveys and reviews those methods by experts in the field. I am certain that it will be of value to both teachers and students in teaching and learning languages and cultures.
