DIDASCALIA: BACKGROUND AND BASIC OPTIONS
Wilfried Decoo · Computer Assisted Language Learning · 1996
Any endeavour is the synthesis of personal experiences, ideas and opportunities built up over the years. Didascalia is no exception. To understand our present status and basic options, it is helpful to probe briefly into the history of that synthesis. That is why I provide first details of personal data and considerations. Next I describe our basic options: our circumspection concerning certain ‘scientific’ trends in the profession, our major concern with the needs of the public, our threefold bottom‐up approach — linguistic, didactic and media‐oriented, and our trademark of ‘richness of content’, coupled with quality‐control and feedback from our users.
