Abstract
With increasing frequency, teachers are being encouraged to integrate technology into their teaching programs. Their challenge is to find technological applications that promote and enhance learning on the part of their students. A further challenge for second and foreign language teachers is to ensure that the applications reflect principles associated with communicative teaching. This article discusses how students can create narrated multimedia presentations that can be published on the Internet. Suitable for second and foreign language programs at any grade level, this activity would facilitate and encourage authentic communication while developing technological and organizational skills. It would also lend itself well to interdisciplinary teaching and would foster student creativity. This article explores how creating narrated multimedia presentations reflects pedagogical principles associated with second and foreign language teaching and learning, provides information about software that can be used to build them, and suggests research topics related to their creation.
