Videoconferencing as Access to Spoken French.
Kinginger, Celeste
Canadian Modern Language Review, v55 n4 p468-89 Jun 1999
A study analyzed classroom interaction between language learners in the United States and France using international videoconferencing, focusing on the American learners' Zone of Proximal Development and the differences between learners' capabilities and native speakers' language use. A videotape of the teleconference was found useful in providing enhanced access to the language corpus. (MSE)
