Kern, Richard G.

Modern Language Journal, v79 n4 p457-76 Win 1995

This study examined the use of Daedalus InterChange, a local area computer network application, to facilitate communicative language use among college students in two elementary French courses. It found that students had more turns and used a greater variety of discourse functions when working in InterChange than they did in their oral discussions. Contains 38 references. (MDM)
