- Summary:
-
A collection of classroom approaches and activities using computers for language learning is presented. Some require sophisticated installations, but most do not, and most use software readily available on most workplace computer systems. The activities were chosen because they use sound language learning strategies. The book is divided into five parts: (1) activities that make use of word processing and desktop publishing programs to help students develop skills in conceptualizing, drafting, and editing written work; (2) using electronic mail and MOOS to engage students and teachers in collaborative learning activities within and outside their institutions; (3) activities tapping World Wide Web sites for data definition, search, gathering, organization, and opinions for argument, and procedures for establishing a Web site; (4) use of multimedia (sound and video) technology, including incorporation of "edutainment" and reference software into teaching activities, and use of sound technology to teach pronunciation; and (5) use of concordancers, programs that analyze text corpora, to inform the design of worksheets and provide comparative data about students' writing and target models.
