  Try pumarosa.com. It's free. Rosetta Stone is good but expensive and requires some basic English.

  We use the ELLIS software program for our ELL lab---very interactive and many levels, beginning adult ELL to entering ABE/GED.  It is excellent but not cheap.  We wrote a grant to purchase it.

  Our program is looking at ESL software. Rosetta Stone has been mentioned. We use Focus on Grammar books which I know has software. 



  Does anyone have a recommendation of a program(s) that would address the ESL needs of students from Level 1 (no English; possibly illiterate in the first language) to Level 6 (entering ABE or Dev. Ed. Classes)?



  Thanks,
