How do you figure out which website(s) to use?
The first task was to find out which websites I would use to learn a new language. I'm beginning a new language (Portuguese), because I teach level one. I thought about what a student may do if they wanted to learn English on their own at their home computer. Obviously, they are at an advantage because they live in this environment, but you have to start somewhere!!! Going to Google and keywording "LEARN PORTUGUESE" wasn't a great help, because it gave me over 14 million results. :} The search goes on, and I will let you know how things turn out.

Today I decided to explore the CALL websites and I found that I preferred the ones that dealt with the beginner phase of language learning. Since I have taught Level 1 several times, I decided to try the bbc URL for German. I actually completed the first two lessons. My biggest difficulty was understanding the conversation without using the captions. Once I listened and used the captions simultaneously, I was in business.
