Surveys indicate that while most elementary and secondary school teachers have access to microcomputers, the majority have not applied computer technology in their classrooms. Some teachers are apprehensive and negative toward computers, but in many cases this reflects a lack of information and training and a perceived shortage of software more than a rejection of computer applications. Computers are effective in producing a variety of instructional aids (drill and practice, tutorials, testing, simulations, games, and dialogue), creating positive learning experiences, and improving student attitudes. The unique feedback, variety, and efficiency of microcomputers applied in classrooms offer significant challenges and opportunities to teachers and students to grow along with technology in foreign language education.
