The CILL site has been accessed times since 18th September 1997.

Four students were interviewed as part of a different investigation, and were asked whether they had used the CILL site. Two said that they had not, one could not tell the difference between the CILL site and the Internet as a whole, and the fourth did not find the site useful, although she only seems to have accessed one page:

  Researcher: No. OK. Have you used the CILL Internet pages like this one with the yellow border and the white here?

Interviewee: See a little.

Researcher: Have you done the reading, writing, listening speaking, or what did you do?

Interviewee: At that time I need to present and I found the speaking, speaking.

Researcher: OK. And was it useful?

Interviewee: It's not very useful because I don't know where the material I can find.

 

Click here to go to the CILL home page. You can try to find the Speaking page, and then the presentations page. It's not too difficult.

The interviews revealed a lack of use the learner training opportunities provided in CILL. For example, three out of four interviewees had never used the books from the Study Skills shelf and had never been to a workshop.
