AN APPLICATION OF ROBERT GAGNE'S NINE EVENTS OF INSTRUCTION TO THE TEACHING OF WEBSITE LOCALIZATION

摘要

Website localization is an important part of international technical communication. However, at present, few technical communication programs offer courses in localization. This article provides an overview of a course devised to familiarize students with ideas and approaches related to website localization. The course was based upon Robert Gagne's nine events of instruction-an approach that allowed students to move from the learning of abstract ideas to the application of knowledge to the website localization process.
