Abstract
Egbert and Petrie have edited a comprehensive and concise text which provides a review of the most pertinent research methods and their interpretation by experts in the field of Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL). 'CALL Research Perspectives' is invaluable for researchers from all fields, for as many of the contributors assert, research is no longer the dominion of one theoretical framework. Rather it is the symbiosis of many in order to illuminate the complex aspect of language learning and skills development, as well as the effect of intrapersonal variables, and the sociocultural, economical, political, and historical forces which create the world as we perceive it both physically and virtually. 'CALL Research Perspectives' is organized into three sections: an introduction, the research perspectives, and a conclusion.
