This book is a thoughtfully curated academic resource that delves into the evolving synergy between English Language Teaching (ELT) and Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL), with a focus on practical applications within the undergraduate English curriculum. Specifically designed to align with the third-year B.A. English syllabus of Manonmaniam Sundaranar University, Tirunelveli, it offers a comprehensive exploration of contemporary language education.

Structured around five core units—Knowing the Learner, Structures of the English Language, Methods of Teaching English Language and Literature, Materials for Language Teaching, and Assessing Language Skills using Technological Tools—the book presents a balanced integration of traditional pedagogical theories with the latest digital tools. Each unit emphasizes how technology is reshaping the teaching and learning of English, aiming to foster digital literacy, learner autonomy, and interactive classroom practices.

This compilation serves a dual purpose: it is both an academic guide for students pursuing studies in English language teaching and a practical reference for educators seeking to incorporate technology into their teaching methodology.

By placing CALL at the centre of the discussion rather than the margins, the book acknowledges the significant transformation in language education brought about by technological advancements. This volume aspires to contribute meaningfully to the academic journey of students and educators alike, encouraging further research and innovation in the rapidly expanding field of technology-enhanced language learning.
