The survey examines how faculty use WCMs in their teaching and what they perceive to be the most "effective" tools in terms of usefulness for their teaching, and helpfulness in the learning process, as well as, the "popularity" of the tools in terms of likeability from the students' perspective. Following the survey, we will be conducting follow up interviews. This will provide us more detailed information, as well as, anecdotal information regarding the uses of WCMs in language education, benefits and pitfalls. A summary of the results will be available to those who complete the survey and request the results. An analysis of the survey results will, also, be presented at a number of conferences in the coming year. If you are using a WCM to teach a "foreign" (non-native to the country/region/culture in which you teach) literature, language, ESL or linguistics (SLA, applied, etc.) course, please fill out the survey at http://www.otal.umd.edu/wcmt-intro.html The survey should take 20 to 30 minutes to complete. Your participation is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. Chris ---------------------- Christopher J.
