>Subject: List of technologies that a language teacher recognize
Back in December, I asked this list for ideas on what technologies,
modalities and media our graduate students should be famailiar with, as
possible aids to teaching. What words, names and terms should they
recognize and understand, when they are interviewed, when they discuss
teaching with colleagues, when their future Language Lab Directors
offer them services?
This is a list of things they should be aware of, not one for
proficiency nor personal experience. Several people responded with
more items, for which I thank you. Here is the list as it stands. Any
other additions will be welcome.
Thanks,
Derek
