Editor’s introduction

Abstract

In this 2015 third issue of Research and Practice in Technology Enhanced Learning, we are delighted to present a Special Issue on the theme “ICT in Language Learning” with three selected articles, on top of our regular publication of original articles.

The Special Issue on the theme “ICT in Language Learning”, with Yu-Ju Lan and Ting-Chia Hsu as Guest Editors, aims to disseminate the practical application of advanced ICT technology to language teaching and learning. The Editorial by the Guest Editors delineates the theme of the Special Issue as well as introduces the individual articles. I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank the Guest Editors for their continuous commitment and professional input in the realization of the Special Issue.

Apart from the three Special Issue Articles, this issue presents three Original Articles that focus on a ubiquitous computer system for acculturation in context, a framework of concept map for automatic assessment, and a monitoring system for programming practice in lectures.
