Abstract
This preliminary study explores how student-generated computer-assisted language learning (CALL) materials can help students acquire verb tenses. The participants were 23 Chinese university sophomores in an integrated-skills English Composition 101 course. The students were earning U.S. Bachelor of Business Administration degrees in China through a cross-border program. After taking pre-tests, students viewed a video that contextualized tenses. Students then wrote narratives using target tenses and incorporated images using presentation software. After showing presentations to classmates, students took post-tests. Open-ended questionnaires measured interest in CALL and grammar learning. Target verb forms were the simple present, present progressive, present perfect, simple past, past progressive, and past perfect tenses.
