This paper deals with how the computer and its networks, especially the Internet, have come to be applied to language education. It also discusses some of the advantages and disadvantages of computer-based education in the teaching of foreign languages, especially English (a one-byte language) and Japanese (a two-byte language). Also included is a discussion on how the Internet and multimedia devices affect the ways in which we conduct our communication, both in our native tongue and foreign languages. This paper then considers the implications of the Internet and multimedia devices for the design of computer-assisted teaching materials. Next, the authors explain how Kansai University's archive of audiovisual learning materials, using up-to-date digital technology, has been put on the web. Based on such varied fields as foreign language pedagogy, linguistics, literature, and engineering, this paper offers a new perspective on how digitized information can and should be integrated for educational purposes in general and the teaching of foreign languages in particular.
