A Swedish language teacher's experiences with recent developments in language teaching technology such as videotext, teletext, microcomputers, and videotapes and videodisks are presented. His conclusions regarding this new technology include the following: videotext is suitable for self-testing and distance education because it is interactive, but this system is costly and used mostly outside of education; teletext is more limited than videotext and is non-interactive but it is useful for reinforcing and testing vocabulary and grammar for a large audience; microcomputers are suitable for self-testing and for training in vocabulary and grammar, are relatively inexpensive, and are more suitable for school than university level instruction; videotapes and videodisks are extremely useful for institutions equipped to produce them; and the combination of the videodisk and microcomputer is particularly promising.
