Abstract:
This presentation will consider elements of personal home
page design from the perspective of whether a
teacherfs home page is gteacher-centeredh or gstudent-centeredh and the
advantages and disadvantages of each. The presenter will use his personal
home pages to illustrate these concepts. In addition, he will explain how he
has modified his home pages in response to the requests, needs, and
interests of his college and university students in Japan. For example, he
will demonstrate how he has incorporated external links within his online
syllabi to extend and supplement textbook lessons. He will also demonstrate
how he uses online survey software (Survey MonkeyTM) as an integral part of his reading and
listening comprehension courses. This software can be used to keep track of
the type and amount of extensive listening and reading the students are
doing, as well as provide a venue for practicing summary and opinion
writing. This demonstration will be of primary interest to teachers of
intermediate- and advance-level university students and adult learners.
