- Summary:
-
The second of a three-part series on computer-assisted instruction (CAI), this report focuses on the use of microcomputers in business education, English, social studies, foreign languages, bilingual education, and ESL (English as a Second Language). Since all these areas involve writing, a discussion of word processors and word processing software precedes more specific discussions of courseware in each area. Then seven exemplary programs at various schools around the country are described in detail. These include a 3-year sequence in computer science for business; a word-processor-based typing and accounting program that was extended to include English composition and creative writing; a language instruction program for non-English speakers; a seven-phase scheme for integrating word processors into an English composition curriculum; a districtwide center for coordinating educational technology; the work of an innovative principal in San Jose, California, who has implemented computer-assisted instruction in two different high schools and (at the time of this publication) was organizing an Institute on Microcomputers in Secondary Education; and a 5-year plan directed by a districtwide steering committee on computers. At the head of each description are the name and address of the school or school district implementing the program and the name and position of a contact person. (TE)
