techniques?


Dear All,

I am wondering if anyone can suggest resources on (and/or successful 
examples of) specific techniques and sample activities for teaching 
languages with the student use of computers in the classroom. I will be able 
to teach with the use of a language lab at my university this fall, and I'd 
like to make this aspect of learning effective for my students.

I am aware of a few different forms of computer-assisted language learning, 
as well as some activities (e.g., collaborative writing, "shopping" online, 
e-mail pen-pals, talking and chat through Skype or similar software). I 
would be interested in knowing how successful these or other activities have 
been for others. Small-group activities with the use of commonly used 
software (a Web browser, Microsoft Word, and/or Skype) are especially of 
interest.

Many thanks for your time!

Best,
