ABSTRACT
Brigham Young University was a pioneer in the development of computer-based education, having been from 1972 to 1975 the courseware development site for the Time-shared, Interactive, Computer-Controlled, Information Television (TICCIT) system, a project funded by the National Science Foundation to investigate the use of mini-computer technology applied specifically to teaching (Merrill, Schneider & Fletcher 1980). From the early success of the Freshman English Grammar, Mechanics and Composition courseware developed during the original project, BYU was soon developing CALL grammar programs in ESL, French, German, Italian and Spanish (Bennion, Hendricks & Larson 1983). Beginning in 1983 with the successful integration of the TICCIT comprehensive Spanish grammar courseware, the BYU Spanish curriculum has benefitted from a broad range of CALL and CALT (Computer Assisted Language Testing) programs.
