Abstract:

This paper describes the development, implementation and evaluation of a new computer project at Tel Aviv University and compares it to an earlier program implemented in 1983/1984. The materials developed were piloted and then fully incorporated into the curriculum in 1988/1989. Attitude questionnaires and formative evaluation forms were administered at the end of each semester. The results of the evaluation were compared with those of the earlier program. This comparison yielded interesting observations about the importance of integrating courseware and classware by combining efforts of curriculum designers, materials developers and language instructors.
