Book Description

0472086553 978-0472086559 March 2000
Become computer savvy while learning English at the same time! This innovative course combines language learning with training in basic computer skills and word processing appropriate for most versions of Microsoft Word (Windows 95 and later). Its illustrated, easy-to-read computer instructions make it very accessible to high beginner ESL students.

The 8 units include Learning About the Mouse, Desktop, and The Future Tense; Learning the Keyboard and Gerunds/Infinitives; Learning About Windows and the Past Tense; Learning the File Menu and the Present Perfect; and Learning the Format Menu and the Passive.

Most activities are communicative and designed for students to work in pairs. There are also speaking, listening, pronunciation, and writing tasks. Each unit ends with a dialogue between students who regularly practice in the computer lab. The characters find themselves discussing provocative topics such as bringing up children in a new country and balancing work and study.

The book is available with an optional disk that includes activities, projects, and letter templates that students can apply to what they have learned.

From the Author

Comments educators have made about the book:

"A book I highly recommend is 'Learning Computers, Speaking English,' by Steve Quann and Diana Satin. It was extremely reasonable and came with a disk. It has easy to use lessons that combine word processing functions and learning English."
Eileen Trainor,

Center for Initiatives in Education

College of Education

"I think the book hits a rather untouched niche in the ESL world (I've already referred several clients to it as they've been in search of an ESL/computer-related program) and commend you on your work!" Jamie Cross Editor, Alta Books

"The structure of the each unit is very systematic, as it brings smooothly together both the computer objectives and the language objectives...As a book for "cooperative activities," it offers numerous suggestions and prompts to help learners interact with peers and have hands-on computer experience."
Francis Britto Ph.D.
Sohia University, Japan

"It's a great resource for connecting ESOL and technology skills! Thank you for creating it."
