Using the Internet for Independent Language Study

Course Description

The aim of this course is two-fold: to develop students' ability to access, comprehend, and make use of Internet resources as well as to develop their skill to evaluate the suitability of online materials for their own future language study. Towards these ends, classroom activities will make use of a wide variety of Internet-based audiovisual materials including lectures, podcasts, news and entertainment videos, blogs, and so on. The beginning of the course will be largely teacher-directed. However, students will gradually take more and more control of the lessons until by the end of the course, students are directing the lessons in a relatively autonomous manner.
