CAMILLE's primary objective is to exploit recent developments in multimedia computing to create a flexible, student-centered, electronic language learning environment to support the acquisition of a second language. The consortium's first target was to produce a learning resource for beginners of Spanish and another for beginners of Dutch, as well as advanced-intermediate course materials in French and English for specific purposes. The functional content of Interactive Spanish is designed to encourage the acquisition of a range of communicative skills, i.e., the ability to use language to do things, e.g., using the telephone to make appointments or asking a travel agent to make travel arrangements. Spanish is the primary language of communication between the computer and student, with the exception of the possibility of the student reading--but never hearing--a set of instructions and explanations in his native language. The reference materials provide all information required by the student. Activities in the study unit are introduced in a video sequence and focus on function, grammar, or vocabulary. Audio feedback and a summary of the student's performance are provided. (CK)
