Multimedia language learning
Over the last few years videos and Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) have helped many learners to improve their English. CD-ROM combines the benefits of video and CALL and is already beginning to make a strong impact in language learning. How much do you know about it?
What does CD-ROM stand for?
Compact Disk Read Only Memory. This means that you can read information stored on the disk but not record anything new on it. This makes it especially practical for schools or self-access centres where there will be many CD-ROM users.
What equipment do you need to use a CD-ROM program?
A personal computer with a minimum memory of 8 megabytes and a 486 processor or higher. In addition you need to have a sound card, speakers, a microphone and a CD-ROM drive. With this equipment you now have a multimedia centre.
