Marketing Strategies
Develop computer-based activities so students can practice at their own pace & get accurate feedback right away. That is a HUGE topic & there’s no chance of me getting into it here. Google “Mark Warschauer” and learn for yourself.

The internet offers much opportunity for students to use the target language. Many textbook series come with internet workbooks that students can use to research many topics. The teacher can develop worksheets directing the student to find information on many topics: geography, travel, restaurants, shopping, current events, etc., etc. I have printed out news stories to use as a reading activity. Have students plan a trip and research hotels looking for various amenities, prices, locations, etc. That’s just a few ideas out of many that can be developed.
There is a wealth of computer programs available for the classroom. Check out your catalogs.
Also, include computer vocabulary in your course work.
