Teachers have acknowledged the richer learning environment and interactivity of multimedia teaching, its flexibility to different learning styles, and learner control that allows the learner to fully engage in the learning process. However, they still have problems in courseware design because their work is mainly centered on exercises and not on what the machine can do best. This is why a new audio segmenting device, called Virtual Recorder, has been derived from the LAVAC (Laboratoire...

The term "media," as employed here, refers to printed and audiovisual forms of communication and their accompanying technology. A representative list of printed materials might include books, periodicals, catalogs, and printed programmed materials. Audiovisual materials include films and filmstrips, recordings, slides, graphic materials, transparencies, videotapes, and dial access programs. Media programs are growing in importance because of the role of media in human communication...

This research review examined the use of a whole class early literacy program in classes which included disadvantaged and at-risk children in Australia. The program, Schoolwide Early Language and Literacy (SWELL), is based on an interactive compensatory theory of literacy acquisition adapted from Success for All, a U.S. early literacy program. The review found that by the end of kindergarten, children in SWELL schools outperformed counterparts in control schools on tests measuring the reading...

Two sources of information are involved in reading; the visual information picked up by the eyes from the printed page and the nonvisual information, or prior knowledge, that the reader possesses. An overreliance on visual information leads to an overloading of the cognitive process involved in reading and loss in comprehension. Overreliance on visual information may result when a reader (1) has inadequate nonvisual information, (2) is expected to put too much visual information into memory, or...

Effects of the different components of the Distar language program were tested on 48 trainable mentally retarded (TMR) children. Three designs were used comparing IQ, sex, continuation status, selected standardized test results, and replicates. Results indicated that the degree of previous formal language training (continuation status) did not have any effect on current functioning. The Distar program produced steady, acceptable progress of the TMR children throughout the school year. In...

A program to prepare refugee adolescents for secondary school experiences in the United States is described. The program, conducted in overseas refugee camps, began in 1985 as a complement to adult transitional programs. The daily program is designed to simulate the schedule and classroom procedures of a typical U.S. secondary school. Classes include three periods of English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) instruction (one each for listening/speaking skills, grammar, literacy instruction), one of...

Based on the empirical data of my PhD research, this paper analyses the perceptions of 351 undergraduate students enrolled at English-medium universities towards English in terms of the language ideology framework. The students were purposively sampled from three programs at three Turkish universities. The data were drawn from student opinion surveys and semi-structured interviews. The findings paint a blurry picture, with a strong tendency among most students to view their English use as...

A decade of PMRI saw the changes in the classroom in some of the primary schools in Indonesia. Based on observation, we can say that though the mathematics syllabus in Indonesia did not change, its curriculum has changed under the movement of PMRI. In this article, we put in writing some of the experience gained through the involvement in designing curricula since 1971. Hopefully, some of the observations made may be of use to the colleagues in Indonesia. The discussion below will cover some...

To achieve the goal of communicative competence, second language instruction should incorporate the results of ethnomethodology research. Ethnomethodologists are interested in the shared rules of interpretation which members of a culture utilize during their conversational interchanges. "Applied ethnomethodology" in the ESL classroom would mean inclusion of materials which explicitly point out those implicit, underlying rules for interaction used by Americans, especially where they...

Most college students are not accustomed to writing about, reading, analyzing, or discussing 19th-century Black literature, especially slave narratives. As many educators try to include more Black literature in their curriculums, there is a growing need to develop successful methods to approach the texts so that students are prepared to write quality papers about Black literature. Some successful techniques for helping students move away from the "lamentations of non-identification"...
