The impact of change (1) • NBLT Patrikis (1997:175) notes that “a simple and often heard phrase like the ‘integration of computers into the curriculum’ is a false lead. Once introduced in any meaningful way, the computer changes everything”
The impact of change (2) • Debski (1997:41) calls the relationship of language teaching and technology “ecological change” because any significant factor in one of its components may lead to changes in the remaining factor”
The dimensions of curricular development Changes in pedagogical values • Markee (1997) observes that changes in materials do not occur independently. Instead, they must co-occur with changes in methodological teaching skills and philosophical values. Changes in teaching materials Changes in methodological skills The dimensions of curricular development (Markee,1997:54)
