New Technological Applications for Foreign and Second Language Learning and Teaching published in 2020 is part of the IGI Global book series Advances in Educational Technologies and Instructional Design (AETID), which assembles state-of-the-art research in (language) teaching and learning with technologies. The present peer-reviewed volume, edited by Mariusz Kruk and Mark Peterson, is dedicated to exploring diverse current practices, research, and implications in technology-enhanced language learning and teaching. In their preface, the editors touch on the role of technology in today's society and introduce the readers to the aims and contents of the volume.The book is divided into two sections: a theoretical and a practical one. The former, entitled Theoretical Considerations comprises the first five chapters that look into computer assisted language learning (CALL) and the research of selected subfields within it. The remaining ten chapters are subsumed under the heading Practical Applications, covering empirical research into digital tool and technology-enhanced pedagogy integration into the language classroom. Each chapter is rounded off by a list of recommended literature and a list of key terminologies (and brief definitions) used in the chapter.John Blake commences the theoretical considerations with a contribution entitled "Intelligent CALL: Using Pattern Matching to Learn English" (Chapter One) which discusses the application of natural language processing for language learning. The author first provides a history of CALL and intelligent CALL, and then discusses patterns and their use for language learning through
