Many instructors are using literary texts along with language structure books in English as a Secondary Language (ESL) classrooms. Since literature is often written to portray a particular cultural or authentic experience, the material presented may not be familiar to ESL students. Also, the students may find such texts structurally complex and impossible to understand. To overcome these challenges, instructors need to implement strategies that will make the literary materials relevant and useful to student learning. The current study describes how multiple technologies were successfully employed in the presentation of Chinua Achebe’s 1958 novel, Things Fall Apart. In addition, ESL students’ reactions to the integration of technology in instruction were explored. Findings from this study have pedagogical implications for instructors who plan to incorporate literature and technology into their ESL curricula.
许多教师在英语作为第二语言(ESL)课堂上使用文学文本和语言结构书籍。由于文学作品通常是为了描绘一种特定的文化或真实的经历而写的，所以所呈现的材料可能对ESL学生来说并不熟悉。此外，学生可能会发现这些文本结构复杂，难以理解。为了克服这些挑战，教师需要实施策略，使文学材料与学生的学习相关和有用。目前的研究描述了在Chinua Achebe 1958年的小说《分崩离析》(Things Fall Apart)的呈现中，多种技术是如何被成功运用的。此外，还探讨了ESL学生对技术融入教学的反应。本研究的发现对计划将文学和技术纳入其ESL课程的教师具有教学意义。

This article presents an instructional program for collaborative construction of hypervideos. The instructional program integrates (a) hypervideo technology development, (b) assumptions on learning with hypervideo systems, and (c) the application of research on knowledge acquisition by writing texts or hypertexts to hypervideos. The aim of the program is to support knowledge transforming processes (Bereiter & Scardamalia, 1987; Stahl & Bromme, 2004) by collaborative construction of hypervideos. In the fi rst part of the article a hypervideo system that enables collaborative design activities by users is described. Afterwards the instructional program is presented in detail. Results of evaluation are consistent with the assumptions. The courses showed to be successful and well appreciated by the students.
