Publisher's Synopsis
The Statutory Order requires that "all pupils should have opportunities in both key stages to develop information technology capability through the programmes of study".;This book is designed to help modern language teachers meet this requirement. Its aim is to provide a systematic guide to using IT in the classroom, without assuming any technical expertise.;It starts with a rationale for the inclusion of IT in modern languages and goes on to suggest a detailed approach to planning which should prove useful to individual teachers and departments alike. Numerous case studies provide a wide range of current good practice, and there is a section to get even the least technically-minded teacher started on using computers. Up-to-date information on the range of current computer hardware and available software will help teachers and departments make the right choice of equipment.;This publication will support teachers preparing for the challenge of Key Stage 3 and planning the integration of IT skills in their schemes of work.
