| description | Malaysian schools are encouraged to acquire computers, and
use then to teach English. However, most teachers have not been
trained to do this, so computer-assisted instruction may not be
taking place.
The interview and questionnaire techniques were used to
survey the computer hardware and software available in computer
clubs in government secondary school sin the Petaling and Hulu
Langat districts of Selangor Daru Ehsan, and investigate how
these facilities were used to develop students' English.
Frequency counts were made, and the median was used to measure
central tendency. Ninety percent of the target schools had computer clubs,
with a median of 9.5 computers per club. Most computers were
Apple or IBM compatible. Few schools used software specifically
written to teach English. However,several programs with
language-teaching potential, such as content-free packages,and
packages using English on the screen, were used. |
