The technology of the modern language classroom (from slide projectors and audio cassette players to microcomputers and VCR's) is explained with a particular focus on creative ways of using the equipment. 14 of the most common types of classroom technology are introduced. Their attributes and capabilities and the equipment and accessories needed are described in detail. However, it is the 40 student-centered teaching techniques using this technology in various combinations that make this book a necessary reference for the teacher trainer and both the novice and the experienced teacher. Janie Duncan claims that teachers who are well trained in the use of equipment and techniques appropriate to it have greater flexibility in achieving communicative language teaching. Her objective is to empower both teachers and students to make creative use of the technology which is now widely available.
