"Integrating Technology into the Elementary
Foreign Language Curriculum"

Mark Kaiser
U.C. Berkeley

The instructional methodologies employed to assist students in the acquisition of a second language have evolved over the past decade, and at the same time the capabilities of the computer have been greatly expanded. During this presentation of software for first-year Russian, we will explore ways in which the computer can be used to teach language and culture, including possibilities for a nonlinear presentation of material. We will discuss implications for the role of instructors, the structure of the curriculum, and evaluation of student progress.
