Fostering legal language skills of rural law students through multimedia: An experimental study

It is said that education is the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another. India, once a land of high learning is now on its way struggling to impart quality education to all its countrymen. While the standard of education in cities is competing with international standards, the education in rural areas remains restricted to blackboard and books. Although the teachers make considerable use of blackboard, charts, models etc., they lack in the usage of technology with which they can enhance the learning process as well as acquisition process of a language. Teachers in general made little use of computer facilities such as the World Wide Web and e-mail. The usage of video materials and foreign films is popular to an extent among them. Teacher’s level of education and teaching experience too accounts for some of the differences in the frequency with which teachers used technology. It is clear that foreign language teachers need to improve their knowledge of how to integrate technology with other activities in classroom instruction. This need could be met by including 'Technology in Classroom' in the courses for pre-service and in-service teachers.&nbsp
