Deanne, it seems like you are referring to the article by Linda Jones, entitled "Using Technology in Language Teaching and Listening Comprehension: Revisiting what Teachers Should Know and Do." This articla appeared in in the 2002 issue of the IALLT Journal (Vol. 34.2). Hope this helps! Ute *************************************************************************** Dr. Ute S.
