Computer Conferencing: Taking the Loneliness Out of Independent Learning.

Marsh, Debra

Language Learning Journal, n15 p21-25 Mar 1997

Describes how a project in Great Britain designed to promote learner independence in English-as-a-foreign-language students clarified issues regarding the need to provide guidance in any student training program. Notes how e-mail and computer conferencing were used to encourage learners to work together, independent of the tutor, to learn English. (25 references) (CK)
