The authors of Multimedia CALL Lessons
The Multimedia CALL Lessons were authored in partial fulfillment of the graduate CALL course requirements at Saint Michael's College, and most of them were contributed by prospective ESL/EFL teachers in the CALL Online course.  The lessons constitute the course participants' capstone project and are centered around extensive lesson plans which incorporate a variety of technologies.  The purpose of each lesson is to engage ESL/EFL students in activities that improve their skills by interacting with a variety of technologies.
