Abstract

This chapter describes the planning, implementation, and evaluation of a CALL support system for a university literacy project funded by the University Grants Committee in Hong Kong. The project, Supporting and Developing Students' English Literacy Practices in the Disciplines, was a collaboration among three universities: The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, City University of Hong Kong, and Hong Kong Baptist University. The chapter first describes collaboration between discipline teachers and language teachers to identify appropriate genre-based online support for students followed by details of the comprehensive needs analysis. Most importantly, the chapter focuses on how this CALL system was designed and developed to meet the needs of different stakeholders including the manner in which the comprehensive, flexible, and dynamic design helps non-traditional and independent tertiary level learners develop literacy skills for their content courses. The chapter concludes by providing details of an evaluation of the CALL system conducted with various stakeholders.
