Handbuch Mediendidaktik

Target group: Teachers and students of German as a Foreign Language

Different mediums are also gaining ground in language instruction, starting with e-learning and more and more in combinations of e-media, personal instruction and print materials (“blended learning”). This leads to new technological and particularly to didactic challenges for teachers as well as authors. This book is aimed at closing this missing link between supply and demand completely and competently. Therefore, the edition contains an introduction to the historical developments and basics of learning theory in this area as well as a classification of electronic learning programmes, an evaluation matrix and descriptions of evaluation methods plus a broad and clear description of medial practise typology based on the latest online and CD-ROM programmes. Details on technical prerequisites for installation, operation and development of electronic learning programmes as well as details on applicable reference literature and a list of recommended software for different languages (including German as a Foreign Language, English, French, Portuguese, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese) complete this edition.
