| In recent years, upgrading tourism industry has become an important issue to promote Taiwan positive image and enhance economic development. Due to globalization, English as an international language for global communication is a necessary element. The aim of this study is to develop multimedia courseware for learning tourism English for one of popular national scenic areas, Tri-Mountain. The courseware design was based on Mayer’s multimedia learning cognitive theory and its language learning focused on Chapelle’s suggested criteria for development of computer-assisted language learning (CALL). The content of material includes English and Chinese introductory texts about famous sits of the scenic area and combines with integrative English learning skills such as reading, listening, writing, speaking and translation. An online self-evaluation system with instant checking function is also developed. The evaluation system includes five different types of language tests such as listening test, cloze test, sentence reconstructing and bilingual translation writing for learners to practice on. In addition, the hyperlink of each tourist spots in the courseware to the official website can provide learners with more authentic materials. The courseware will be integrated into instruction for students of English as a foreign language (EFL) to investigate their satisfaction and attitude. |
