Wang, Y. (2008). Collaborate to Learn: A Case Study of Technology-enhanced, Collaborative Language Learning. AIP Conference Proceedings, 1007(1), 189-198. doi:10.1063/1.2937605
           This case study is very relevant to my research paper because it was conducted to examine how the use of technology-enhanced, collaborative language learning enables students to work collaboratively in a university context. The aim of the study was to explore some technological aspects of language education, to consider these aspects in terms of language studies and to enable each student to develop his or her ability to improve this style of learning. Furthermore, it talks about advantages and disadvantages of technology tools in teaching a language.
           I have chosen this case study because it provides me a clear picture of how technology tools pave the way for students to work collaboratively and learn a language. It also reveals the impact of technology tools in enhancing students’ various skills and promoting a high level of understanding. Furthermore, it is important that people understand the advantages and disadvantages of tools of technology in teaching a language.
