Reflections on Language Learning is at once an all-embracing title for a Festschrift to honour Antonieta Celani and an organised set of four major themes. 'Reflections', here, is no mere synonym for 'thoughts': they are those of a candle in a mirror, of the moon in the surface of a lake, of the facets of a diamond in the sunshine: they are the true reflections from our joint and several experiences of working with Antonieta Celani in Brazil.

The book is designed to be used in an introductory course for under-graduate or graduate students. The goal is to make the information contained herein available to students with a wide variety of background knowledge. The book can be used with those with a background in language and/or linguistics and those with little or no background in these areas. The book developed out of our belief that the complexities of the field can and should be brought to the attention of many students, both those who are intending to delve further into the field and those who are only curious about the pervasive phenomenon of learning a second language.

Welcome to the world of stand-up delivery. Whether you are a trainer, seminar leader, guest speaker, or just someone who occasionally must deliver an idea by addressing a group of people, this book was created to show you not only the importance of presentation skills, but many of the nuances that will allow you to direct a group of strangers so that they come together as a team and can accomplish a common goal.

The aim of developing CALL is not to provide language learners with novelty, (a novelty which in many cases has already disappeared), but is to improve the quality of language teaching. The aim is not to show how ingenious we are in creating software but to use the computer to help us implement educational aims. More use needs to be made by programmers of educational psychology, methodology and linguistic science.
