Integrating New Technologies Into the Modern Languages Curriculum

Less than ten years ago computers were introduced in secondary education. Many initiatives were taken to promote the use of the new technologies, also in the area of language learning. The introduction of the new technologies in the regular school system has not been very successful. It is claimed that this is mainly due to the lack of sound curricular integration. Proposals for courseware development that will better fit into the modern languages curriculum are put forward in this paper.
