Abstract
This article describes a 3-year multimedia language learning project which utilizes multiple modes of media including computer-assisted interactive programs, edited videos and printed textbooks. A group of language educators has collaborated to create this integrated system for use in computer-assisted language laboratories. The materials chosen are from a popular American movie showing two different generations of a family. Through video-based classroom activities and an individualized CALL program, learners will not only improve their language skills but also learn various aspects of American humor and culture.
