Re: [seul-edu] Teaching Language Software

[Bill Tihen -- TECHNOLOGY <bill@mail.tasis.ch>]

Does anyone have any contacts at any language
institutes?  

Especially ones that use computers to teach languages --
I don't mean ones where the administration says they use
a program -- I mean a program that the instructors use! 
I have to mention that because one of our administrators
touts occasionally that we use a language program, but
no one uses it because they don't like it and don't find
it effective.

<grip>
I'm not at all against using computers to teach, but I
wish administrators wouldn't make decisions and
advertise and spend lots of money that no one will use.
I find this worse than not using Linux. ;-)
