โฆ Synopsis
This paper describes the use of computer-assisted instruction for the teaching of languages at the University of Turin. The computer is used in several ways: testing; classroom reinforcement; recovery; and text comprehension. We describe these various activities and attempt to pinpoint the advantages the computer offers over traditional media. In the final section, we explain how we have exploited two videodiscs for language teaching purposes.
