This course is designed for those interested in the computer-assisted language instruction and computer-aided research for applied linguistics. This course differs from the course Computer-Assisted Instruction in which it focuses on the areas of foreign language instruction, testing, and research. The content of the course will be presented through various ways: presentations given by the instructor, in-class and online discussions, student professional presentations, and multiple activities. Learners will also produce computerized language applications using software such as Inspiration , HyperStuio, or eZedia.
The instructor has also invited a guest speaker, Dr. Lauren Cifuentes, to come and speak about Web 2.0 technology for foreign language education. Dr. Cifuentes is an associate professor in the Educational Technology Program at Texas A&M University where she teaches integrating educational technology into the curriculum, computer graphics, and instructional design. She is currently the President of the International Division in the
Association for Educational Communication and Technology(AECT).

Attendance and Punctuality
Please come to class each time and on time. This is respect to yourself and your classmates. Each unexcused absence will result a 3% deduction from the final grade. If you are or will be absent for medical or personal reasons, please inform me in advance and show evidence (e.g. medical excuse notes). According to the university regulation, more than two unexcused absences or six excused absences result a failed grade for the course. I will provide a sign-in sheet for you to sign your name. Please do not sign for other people. I will be checking the handwritings.
