Abstract

In March 1982, the French Socialist government opened the World Center of Computing with fanfare that caught international headlines. One project chosen for a pilot demonstration was a videodisc approach to teaching French to native English speakers. Using existing motion picture sequences, still images, and audio, a demonstration videodisc has been developed. Unique features include: (1) learner control of instruction by a hand held mouse or touch sensitive screen, (2) extensive cultural interaction in a veritable linguistic bath, and (3) an elaborate lexicon of word meanings portrayed visually for selected key words.
