Foreign Language Instructional Technology

The State Of The Art

Abstract

This is a good news, bad news story, which — as is to be expected — makes the telling of it a bit awkward. Furthermore, there is a common-sense quality to much of what needs to be said, which may make some of it seem self-evident. Nonetheless, some benefit may well emerge from an overview, an attempt to assess both where we are and whither we might go in the use of computers and other products of modern technology for foreign language instruction.
