DESCRIPTORS Adult Students; Classroom Techniques; *Computer Assisted Instruction; *English (Second Language); Foreign Countries; Grammar; Reading Instruction; Second Language Instruction; Skill Development; Speech Skills; Surveys; *Teacher Attitudes; Vocabulary Development; *Word Processing;Writing Instruction ABSTRACT A discussion of the use of word processingfor the instruction of English as a Second Language (ESL)is presented in two parts. The first addresses the uses of thetechnology in teaching language skills, including writing, vocabulary,grammatical competence, reading skills, and oral skills. Relatedliterature is reviewed and specific examples of classroomtechniques are presented. The second part reports on a survey of teacherattitudes concerning the use of word processors. Results _uggestthat most teachers believe the word processor plays onlya minor role in the development of writing skills and are not clear aboutwhat that role is, beyond its motivational effect. It is concluded thatthe most widely acceptable forms of word processoruse in ESL are those that involve a central role for the teacher as a developer ofinstructional materials, guide, resource manager, andinformation and feedback source, and for the student as initiator, experimenter,and collaborator, the roles normally filled by teacherand student in a communicative classroom.
