Current research on computer-assisted language learning (CALL) teacher education shows a need to shift the focus away from a technocentric emphasis on specific technologies to strategies for technology integration (Chapelle & Sauro, 2017). The main reason for this is to prepare teachers to be flexible enough to use current and future technologies in different ways across various contexts. Therefore, this conceptual paper addresses this teacher education issue by exploring four strategies that can be used to show teachers broader ways to think about integrating technology. Drawing upon the most recent literature in the field of CALL, this paper describes each strategy and illustrates it with a possible teaching scenario. It also provides the benefits of each strategy use for both teachers and language learners. Finally, this paper offers recommendations for pre-and in-service teachers, as well as teacher educators, to explore the strategies to integrate technology into their pedagogical practices.
