Hsien-Chin Liou mainly discusses practical aspects through the exploration of the development of a piece of EFL interactive videodisc courseware. He makes good interpretation of the project objective setting, instruction design, and on-line implementation. In his paper, we can know that IVD can provide learners an authentic and adaptive learning environment. Personally, I have positive attitude toward using authentic materials to teach language. Students benefit from the explosure to real situations. IDV project will help teacher to teach more effective. "It consists of four units: an Introduction, Hyperscript, Film Viewing, and Film Viewing with Instruction.Hyperscript is a design using a hypertext format, while Film Viewing
is designed with various kinds of on-line help. Film Viewing with Instruction is a
module with a great deal of program control." This project is impressed me. Can you inmagin how pleased enviroment when you are learning literature through visual and audio relaxing. It might attract students to learn language. In additon, IVD proect also provide useful tool called DICTIONA.DBF that contains English and
Chinese pairs of all the words or idioms used in the film or play script so when students encounter unknown words or idioms, they can look them up on-line. This design helps students for individual learning with their own pace without interfering with others. Learners can use it at home or school as flexibly as they can. In adition, what I am appreciated is the coursework can provide both preview and review activities in language class, which help English teaching for class teaching and evalating. Generally speaking, IVD is a excellent courseware that can be applied into language teaching and learning. It provides enthentic environment for learners, which highly motivates students' learning.

Thanks for this. I like the way that you have highlighted the structure of the courseware: Introduction, Hyperscript, Film Viewing, and Film Viewing with Instruction. When you are developing your own courseware, it would be helpful to develop a structure like this to guide students through activities.
回覆刪除Thanks for your suggestions for developing my own courseware. I think Liou gives us a good example for design a courseware which assist teachers teaching and students learning. In my previous teaching experience, teachers haven't considered to design a coureware because it is so complicated. However, after learning the course, we can have a try to design something to assit students to achieve better outcomes.
