    I have been teaching Information (Computer) Technology for more than ten years at high-school. Through the rapid technological innovations of hardware and software during this time, I have come to ask myself what is most important for information education in school. It is my belief that one possible answer is to blend some elements of Cognitive Science into the regular curriculum. This paper discusses some important but often overlooked viewpoints necessary for teachers who will be teaching "Information Technology" and"Multidisciplinary Learning" beginning in the year 2003.

    Computer network (the school LAN) systems have recently been introduced to primary and junior high schools. According to the Information-oriented Education Project (December/1999), network systems will be prepared for all schools within a few years.

    PCs (Personal Computers), utilized in the various ways, play an important role in language education. Especially, in the field of EFL (English as a Foreign Language), PCs are powerful means for improving four skills; reading, writing, listening, and speaking.In this study of improving reading skills, we introduced a speed reading CALL (Computer Assisted Language Learning) system. This system was designed to improve learner's English reading comprehension without rearranging it into Japanese syntactical patterns. For the speed reading skill, the learner's vocabulary is one of an important factor in improving their reading ability. Thus, a new vocabulary learning device, using word unit analysis based on the combinations of prefixes, roots, and suffixes was discussed. Finally, concerning a practical English CALL system, we considered the possibility of multimedia in education by comparing the use of a text-based system with a multimedia system.

    As PCs spread, multimedia is being utilized in various forms as a technique which plays an important role in language learning. In the field of EFL (English as a Foreign Language), multimedia may be an especially powerful educational tool.In this study, we discussed the educational role of multimedia for language learning. We developed two new vocabulary learning devices: the "Root" software using word unit analysis based on the combinations of prefixes, root, and suffixes; and a system using the core image of the verb and particle of phrasal verbs. We considered the potential of multimedia to be educational by these multimedia CALL systems.
