Applications of Behavioral Technology: From Conventional Lab Teaching to Technological Total Self-Instruction.
Estarellas, Juan
Behavioral technology applied to language instruction at the college level is contrasted with instructional approaches based on an educational philosophy of a more theoretical nature. While focusing on individual needs and the possibility of self-instruction, the author discusses conventional laboratory teaching, task performance theory, systems, terminal behavior, "mands", psycholinguistics, and laboratory equipment. Language instruction objectives and procedures to redirect language laboratory use are described. (RL)
