Video-Conferencing and GCSE Oral Practice.
Wright, Nigel; Whitehead, Maurice
Language Learning Journal, n18 p47-49 Dec 1998
Describes an experiment in the United Kingdom that brought together GCSE modern languages examination candidates and preservice language teachers via video conferencing, thus providing both groups with more practice in oral language. The article suggests that the use of video conferencing may be beneficial to all parties concerned, given the diminishing opportunities for oral language practice by traditional means. (SM)
