Keywords include academic language from the Birmingham Corpus and the Academic Word List from Victoria University in New Zealand. Each keyword includes a minimum of 10 contexts, and entries include different parts of speech, proverbs from different cultures, quotations, facts about countries, and trivia. The user can search and edit these sentences, and add more keywords or sentences of their own.

Gradebook Plus is a DOS software program that helps educators keep track of grades and scores by providing an easy-to-use record keeping system. First, the class is set up by entering class data and student names and identification numbers. Next, individual grades are entered. At any time, the grades may be displayed on the computer screen or printed. In addition to raw totals and scores, Gradebook Plus will automatically calculate many useful statistics on individual students, on classes as a whole, or on individual assignments. Statistics include mean, median, and standard deviation. A histogram and grades based on an instructor-selected grading scale are also available. The teacher's manual explains how the program works, describes the different report options, and gives samples of the various reports.

Guided Reading by David Herren is a HyperCard stack whose purpose is to assist in introducing the intermediate language student to the literature in the target language through media-based annotations of texts. It provides an easy means for the instructor to answer questions one time that she knows the students will ask over and again each semester. I am further hopeful that it will simultaneously engage the student in a way they might not otherwise be engaged. With very little practice, the instructor should be able to create annotated editions of text including digital sound, interactive video, graphics and text, designed to provide collaborative support to the intermediate and beginning language student as they investigate short stories, poetry or excerpts in the target language.
