Russian Language Development and Maintenance at a Distance: Methodology and Technology.
Supinski, Stanley B.; Sutherland, Richard L.; Valentine, Susan M.
Applied Language Learning, v12 n1 p1-30 2001
Studied use of the Internet, Compact discs (CD), and email on the feasibility of conducting Russian language maintenance and development in a distance learning mode. Students from Air Force bases were guided by a native Russian moderator and interacted with each other in five-person teams. CD and email were found to be very reliable; Internet proved less reliable, primarily due to access problems for military users. (Author/VWL)
