DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this project is to design and pilot test a prototype interactive multimedia (IM) program for teaching oral language strategies to students in grades 6 through 9. The instructional program will be designed for use in a variety of settings, including general education classrooms, special education classes, tutoring centers, homes, and specialized school settings (e.g., detention centers, alternative schools). An associated goal of the project is that these programs will enable general education teachers to facilitate the academic success of diverse populations in their classrooms, particularly students in Title I, high-poverty schools. This IM prototype will be used as a model for an expanded version of the original program plus two additional instructional programs to be developed in Phase II of this project. The three IM programs to be developed and tested will serve as an adjunct to traditional curricula and instructional methodologies and will target different uses of spoken language. The programs will provide self-paced instruction in communication strategies that can be used to enhance expressive language, to provide additional practice to ensure that students achieve mastery in oral communication skills at a developmentally appropriate time, or they might be used as a remediation tool. To determine the feasibility of the IM format and content in Phase I, a computer-based instructional program will be designed for teaching students a strategy for presenting information (after hearing a story) clearly and concisely. The program will be tested with adolescents living in high-poverty areas. The efficacy of using an IM format for teaching an oral communication strategy will be evaluated relative to: (a) youth use of the IM program, (b) youth knowledge of the strategy, (c) youth use of the strategy, (d) social validity of the medium and the program content, and (e) required instructional time.

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目的目的是设计和试点测试一个原型互动多媒体（IM）课程，用于向6至9年级的学生进行口头语言策略的教学课程。教学计划将设计用于各种环境，包括通识教育课堂，特殊教育课程，辅助教育中心，家庭，家庭和学校设置（E.G. E.G. Eltentive Centersection）。该项目的一个相关目标是，这些计划将使通识教育教师能够在课堂上促进不同人群的学术成就，尤其是标题I，高贫困学校的学生。该IM原型将用作原始程序的扩展版本以及在该项目的第二阶段开发的两个其他教学程序的模型。要开发和测试的三个IM程序将作为传统课程和教学方法的辅助手段，并将针对口语的不同用途。这些计划将提供沟通策略中的自进度指导，这些教学可用于增强表达语言，以提供其他实践，以确保学生在发育中适当的时间掌握口头交流技能，或者可以用作补救工具。为了确定IM格式和内容在第一阶段的可行性，将设计一个基于计算机的教学计划，用于教学学生一种策略，以清楚而简洁地呈现信息（听到故事之后）。该计划将与居住在高贫困地区的青少年进行测试。使用IM格式来教授口头交流策略的功效将相对于：（a）青年对IM计划的使用，（b）青年对策略的了解，（c）青年对策略的使用，（d）培养基内容和程序内容的社会有效性，以及（e）所需的教学时间。
