This article reports on how foreign language instructors at Arizona State University at Tempe are encouraged and taught to use technology in their teaching. Section one introduces the reasons why technology is helpful for foreign language instruction. Section two describes foreign language instructors' attitude toward using technology in their teaching. The efforts of the foreign language department at the university to improve its teaching via technology are depicted in Section three. Renovated audio-visual, language computing, and mediated classrooms labs are described. A two-week language technology workshop was conducted to train instructors in the use of educational technologies, specifically Toolbook, an authoring program for designing instruction, and electronic mail (e-mail). Instructors' attitudes toward using technologies and their personal assessments of various technologies were surveyed. It was discovered that foreign language instructors were not familiar with technology and seldom used it in their teaching before the workshop. However, they had a very positive attitude about the use of technology in language teaching. An appendix includes the four workshop questionnaires and tables summarizing instructor's attitudes of technology use before and after the workshop, and instructors' self-assessment and attitudes concerning the use of Toolbook and e-mail familiarity.
