------------------
Although this discussion is about technology in language learning, the broader issues around technology-enhanced learning inform the debate.
Perhaps the following information might be useful on the Clark-Kozma issue.
In the journal Educational Technology Research and Development,
Vol. 42, No. 2 (1994) there appeared a series of articles on this
issue, among others one each by Richard E. Clark and Robert
Kozma themselves:
Clark, R.E. Media will never influence learning.
[E-mail me for a short summary of this one.]
Kozma, R.B. Will media influence learning? Reframing the debate.
A number of prominent educational technologists and instructional
designers contributed to the debate in ETR&D, 42:2. Unfortunately
the journal is only available in print, but I am sure your library will
be able to get you copies of the articles.
If you would like to find out more about Clark, Kozma and other
gurus you are welcome to visit the Who's Who in Instructional
Technology at

Essays on the Philosophy of Technology
[http://commhum.mccneb.edu/PHILOS/techessay.htm]
(This WWW site is excellent if you are interested in philosophizing
about Ed Tech)
If you really want to read some anti-technology views, Neil
Postman is your man! The best would be to feed his name to a
search engine, e.g. Dogpile (www.dogpile.com)
Something on Technological Determinism for the philosophers:
http://www.december.com/cmc/mag/1996/feb/chandler.html
Do follow the links to Daniel Chandler's pages too - I found them very interesting and informative (what with my being rather dumb about these things)

Johan Viljoen
