Abstract

In the introduction to this volume, we promised to present a state-of-the-art of technological and methodological innovation in the teaching and processing of specialized linguistic domains. It is our belief that the chapters included in this compilation have not only offered valuable insights into the promised state-of-the-art but also opened a number of approaches that will help to shape the future of CALL and LSP research, teaching and learning.
