Welcome to LanguageForum! This Forum is for language students, teachers and researchers interested in how to better integrate the use of computers and multimedia to improve language learning. Forum Categories are in the right menu. You may address any of them, or introduce another topic related to language education. Please start by introducing yourself. Let me begin. For over 20 years I (JPL) have taught all areas of EFL in Japan. My dissertation compared methods of vocabulary development. Research interests include L2 reading and vocabulary acquisition, use of various glossing and translation programs and devices, electronic and web dictionaries; designing Depth of Lexical Processing and Vocabulary Knowledge Scales and Taxonomies of Reading Comprehension and Vocabulary Learning Strategies. I have edited three Cloze Listening workbooks using children’s songs, holiday songs and love songs to increase language learning enjoyment. My Homepage http://www.CALL4All.us provides a clearinghouse of CALL organizations and a Virtual Encyclopedia of language education sites worldwide. Please try it out and send any comments or questions or recommended links to me either via this Forum or through its Q-Questions/Contact Page found at: http://www.call4all.us///home/_all.php?fi=q . Hope to meet you soon!
