Class Objectives
• Assure computer literacy by reviewing both the fundamentals of computer use and the elements of style necessary to express ideas clearly in English via the Internet.
• Develop sound research skills with an emphasis on web based searches.
• Comprehend completely the ethical and legal responsibility in sharing data over the web.
• Producing intelligible and useful English in the form of a well researched link page on a self chosen topic of interest to the world community. Students will collect and describe in English the best sources available for in-depth analysis of their topic, thus providing a service to other students and researchers accessing their link page in the future.
Class Structure
• Students will meet regularly, on time, at the scheduled language lab and engage immediately in their task. All personal computing should be done at another time.
• Students are encouraged to use the extensive collection of lesson plans for the Internet provided here at Lov-e.com. Working through the full program step by step, students should attain a fairly wide view of the web, as well as improve their English comprehension skills.
• Questions and suggestions can be addressed directly to the teacher present in the lab. Students are expected to keep in verbal contact with the teacher through out the term, providing progress documentation and to varify the project's English usage.
• A perfected final project is expected from all students on the assigned dates. Matriculation is assured only to students who have attended the official required classes on time, completed all work properly as assigned, and illustrated a sincere enthusiasm and consistent effort to participate in class activities.
