Tips for Teaching World Languages with Technology was developed by the World Languages Editorial Board to provide some ideas on how to use MERLOT materials for teaching and learning.

In Teaching World Languages, our Editorial Board has selected a representative sample of learning materials that make effective use of technology to teach languages.

MERLOT World Languages invites you to suggest ways to use the learning materials in the collecton by submitting a member comment. See the material view of the item you like to leave a member comment.

One learning material that MERLOT World Languages would like to highlight at this time is this year’s MERLOT Classics Award Winner, Visualizing Japanese Grammar, by Shoko Hamano  and Wakana Kikuchi  of the George Washington University. It is an excellent resource that brings the study of Japanese grammar  to life through engaging graphics, informative text, and helpful audio explanations.  We heartily congratulate the winners of this award.
