Abstract
Until now the use of computers in language learning has frequently involved software exercises which offer little advantage over their pen-and-paper equivalents. Likewise CALL materials thus far written have tended to be restricted to practice of one particular grammatical point or to one exercise type. The present paper sets out to describe an integrated series of computer-assisted reading materials under development at the University of East Anglia in Norwich. These materials attempt to embody the principle of maximum learner choice within a programme and to explore areas of the reading process where the computer begins to offer some real advantages in its own right. Some general considerations relating to the problems involved in teaching reading with computers are first discussed, following which the framework of the present CAR project, together with specific examples, are given.
