Dear everyone,
First, let me thank the people who have already responded to my
inquiry.
I just realised one important thing was missing from my previous
posting inquiring Multimedia language lab software.
We are aware of the limitation of using pre-packaged commercial
software. Therefore, we would like to be able to customise the
content of the materials produced by software that we will use in our
lab.
I apologise for this missing information.

> Dear everyone,
>
> The institution that I am working for is currently investigating
what
> kind of software that we can use in the computer-based multimedia
> language lab due to open in September, 2000.
>
> Since we do not have anyone who is knowledgeable on this issue, I
> was asked to post the question to this list for the information.
The
> environment that we are in is as follows:
>
> - The lab will be used by students of French, Spanish, Chinese and
> Japanese courses plus ESL.
> - The operation system of the lab will be Windows 95.
> - There will be approximately 20 networked multimedia computers in
the
> lab.
> - The lab will be used on a drop-in basis only.
> - We have some educational technology experts in our Educational
> Technology Centre, but none of them has knowledge or experience in
> using
> the educational technology for the second language instruction.
> - The most instructors have little or no knowledge in using computer
> technology in language instruction.
>
> As a starting point, what we would like to know is:
>
> A. What kinds of software are commonly used in the labs similar to
> ours?
> B. Are different types of software used for different languages'
> instruction?
> e.g., one type of software for French/Spanish and the other for
> Chinese/Japanese
>
> We would greatly appreciate it if you could share your expertise and
> experience with us.
