This book describes the use of a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) by a group of advanced English language learners in Mexico, comparing what students thought and what they did in response to the technology. The theoretical aim of the book is to work towards the construction of a theory of the development of autonomy and virtual learning in an EFL context. Enhanced understanding about the relationship between autonomy and technology has the potential to inform academics, software designers, materials writers, teacher educators, and teachers and to help learners in their quest to acquire a foreign language."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 410 0$aAdvances in digital language learning and teaching. 606 $aEducational technology 606 $aLanguage and languages$xComputer-assisted instruction 606 $aLanguage and languages$xStudy and teaching$xTechnological innovations 606 $2Language acquisition 615 0$aEducational technology. 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xComputer-assisted instruction. 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xStudy and teaching$xTechnological innovations. 676 $a418.0078 700 $aHamilton$b Miranda$01541829 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786220903321 996 $aAutonomy and foreign language learning in a virtual learning environment$93794204 997 $aUNINA
