Quite by coincidence I have come accross an introductory book on the
subject, which some of you might find interesting:
Ahmad, Khurshid, Greville Corbett, Margaret Rogers & Rolland Sussex (1985)
_Computers, language learning and teaching._ (series: New directions
in language teaching.) Cambridge Univ. Press.
Having JUST come across this book, I still haven't had the chance to read
it. But it may be useful to those of you hesitant about taking the plunge
into computers:
"It is intended for language teachers at all levels ... and assumes
no previous knowledge of computers of computing." [Preface, p. vii]
As SEELangs subscribers, you obviously have some knowledge of computers, so
I may be preaching to the converted (I, for one, might be referred to as
_oglashennyi_--in one of its secondary meanings--in this regard.) As one
of the co-authors is a Slavist (and a subscriber to this list), I won't
write anything more. --Loren Billings (billings at princeton.edu)
