| Summary: | M.Tech. Language Practice (Computer Assisted Language Teaching) === The purpose of this study was to establish whether the boundaries of ageappropriate
language-learning software could be crossed successfully with first year
Language Practice students at the Tshwane University of Technology, in order to
improve their inadequate English proficiency and their knowledge and understanding
of English grammar skills.
The research took the form of a case study in which 22 first year Language Practice
Tshwane University of Technology students participated over a period of two weeks.
The results indicated that the boundaries of age-appropriate software for language
learning could be crossed successfully with the students who participated in the case
study. Better results are, however, probable over a longer period of time. |
