WORLD WIDE WEB QUESTIONNAIRE

Dear Colleague
The Language Centre is conducting a survey for the Higher Education Funding Council’s Support Initiative for Multimedia Applications (SIMA) into the use of the WORLD WIDE WEB (WWW) by language learners. We would be very grateful if you could hand out a questionnaire to all students in your language classes. When they are completed, please pass them back to the Language Centre office.

Additional copies of the student questionnaire are available in both the SML and the Language Centre office

We are also interested in staff views on the potential (present and future) of the WEB in the context of language learning. Please take a little time to answer the following questions.

Many thanks
Vicky Wright, Julie Watson

1. The World Wide Web gives access to a range of resources around the world. In your opinion what possibilities does it offer language learners?

2. Have you used the World Wide Web yourself at all?

3. Do you recommend its use to your students or have you built it into your courses (either language or content) in any way? If so, please give details and indicate how well this has worked.

4. In your opinion what possibilities do the resources of the WEB offer your students compared with:

• other electronic media
  e.g. newspapers on CD ROM, dedicated language learning software, email etc.
• separate media resources
  e.g. reference and course books, topic boxes, satellite tv. video, audio etc.
• classes and lectures
