Thomas, Paul
Australian Review of Applied Linguistics, Series S n17 p111-24 2003
Describes an off-campus distributed language course in Indonesian and discusses the use of computer mediated communication in on-campus and off-campus courses. Argues that off-campus delivery language programs need to seek the linking of learners to a community of learners with whom they share common goals and to the broader native speaker community whose culture they wish to interact with.
