Language Learning in Distance Education Reviews

'Not only does White offer a comprehensive guide to the study of languages at a distance, but much credit should also be given to the author for her successful efforts in unraveling the ever increasing number of competing definitions, overlapping concepts and eclectic approaches that have mushroomed in the field in recent years. Indeed, although White states that the volume will be of particular interest to anyone who has [already] worked within distance learning contexts, I would argue that it is just as suitable for readers with little or no prior expertise in language learning at a distance ... I can hardly recommend Language learning in distance education highly enough, as a truly groundbreaking contribution to the study of its topic ... provides a sound basis for future research into how distance language learners respond to and reconceptualize their particular learning environments.'
