Using An Authoring System To Create Language Lessons For The Microcomputer

This paper first presents some general background information about Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL), for the benefit of those readers who have little knowledge of the field. It then gives an extended example of an educational authoring system which is currently under development, describing how a teacher will use it to construct a lesson, and how a student will interact with the lessons that his teacher has constructed for him. The paper concludes with a list of some of the general design features incorporated in the authoring system.
