This comprehensive book delves into the profound implications of technology-mediated project-based language learning for CALL (Computer-Assisted Language Learning) teacher development, with a specific emphasis on the role of video-based instruction in unraveling the challenges and opportunities that arise in promoting learner creativity within the language classroom. Building upon the existing body of literature on project-based language learning, the volume expands its scope by exploring the unique affordances of machinima, digital videos created by teachers and learners to capture immersive experiences within 3D immersive games or virtual worlds. Through a series of case studies that examine various aspects of CALL teacher education, the book sheds light on language learning and teaching strategies that foster both learners and teachers to embrace innovative approaches, ultimately promoting the integration of lifelong learning skills alongside traditional linguistic competencies. This groundbreaking work makes a dynamic contribution to the expanding literature on the intersection of language learning and teaching and technology, appealing to students and researchers in applied linguistics, language and education, as well as those who are keenly interested in the latest developments in CALL.
