How do stakeholder groups’ views vary on technology in language learning?

Abstract

This study examines how technology is perceived by different stakeholder groups in The Language Flagship programs. We administered questionnaires to three stakeholder groups: 14 directors, 34 instructors, and 100 learners at a variety of institutions with three goals: (a) to investigate what technologies the directors, instructors, and learners find useful for language instruction; (b) to explore how and to what degree the perceptions of the directors, instructors, and learners agree about technologies they think use; and (c) to study how learners’ views vary with regard to the value of various technologies for language learning inside and outside the classroom.
