A "fairground" portion of the seminar included the following brief commentaries: "Answers to wh-Questions about 'Authentik'" (Sean Devitt); "'Dushlan'--Maire Trease Ni Dhonnchadha Agus" (Eamonn O Donaill); "'Cogar'--Language, Experience, and Culture" (Liz McSkeane); "'Camino a Castilla'--a Multi-media Communicative Course in Spanish for Advanced Students" (Miranda Stewart); "'Kaleidoscope'--A French-Language Video Kit" (Tony Weymes); "'Daoine ag Caint'--Irish Language Videos" (Helen O Murchu); "'Cluichi Teana sa Seomra Ranga'--Language Games in the Classroom" (Noirin Ni Nuadhain); "Parlez-Vous Banque?" (Francoise Blin and Seamus Kennedy); "Some Reflections on an Experiment in Computer-Assisted Language Learning" (Carlos Lobo); and "Interactive Video with the Autotutor" (Helene Conway-Mouret). A concluding round-table session discussed issues raised by the seminar. (LB)
