Reflection on Week 7 Reading

Although the project using a foreign language Interactive Videodisc Courseware was done in Taiwan, where students learn English as a Foreign Language, I think the findings have important teaching implications in Hong Kong, too. IVD may be especially helpful to university students graduating from CMI secondary school.

As the writer points out, IVD provides the messages on realistic life, visual support and demonstrate how language are used in a great variety of contexts. IVD is more entertaining. All these elements make IVD more attractive and impressive than the printed version.

Learners will also be able to pick up the accent, intonation and stress from the IVD materials.
