Implementing computer technology into the language learning process: what difference does it make?

The purpose of this article is to describe a language-learning environment for beginning Chinese learners in Australia in which technology plays a crucial role in the overall planning of the curriculum. In this curriculum priority had been given to listening and speaking skills rather than helping learners to learn through reading romanization of the Chinese language. The integration of computer enhanced learning materials in the curriculum not only provided easy access to the pronunciation.
