4.0 out of 5 stars Simple means for great impact, May 3, 2000
By 
This colletion of essays proves that it does not take the most sophisticated and thus most expensive means (i.e. software tools) to dramatically enhance language learning classrooms. A simple "chat"-like online-programm is enough to overcome the obstacles of decades maybe centuries of foreign language learning, provided is is appropirately used by language teachers. Focussing on "extended discourse" among students , a didactical aim that is seldomly achieved in regular high-school classes, be it in the U.S or in my home country, Germany, this book gives the theoretical foundation as well as concrete advise how to achieve this. A bonus for language teachers: Suggestions for marking scales for this brand new, yet unexplored way of language teaching.

First Sentence:
The essays in this volume describe efforts by faculty at the University of Texas at Austin to develop a network-based pedagogy which re-orients computer-assisted language learning (CALL) away from drill-and-practice applications modeled on print-based workbooks and toward a social-interactive model of second-language acquisition. Read the first page
