Lehmann, Winfred P. – IDEAL, 1987
When computers first became available, scholars in the humanities made little use of them. Language applications were introduced by non-linguists.

Little, D. G.; Singleton, D. M. – 1988
While there are powerful arguments in favor of using authentic, essentially ephemeral materials in second language learning, there may also be a significant need for fixed support in addition. Recent research in Ireland suggests a student-perceived need for instruction in grammar that, in combination with authentic materials and other kinds of…
