I know this question has been asked before, but please bear with -- and update --me. Tri-District Adult ESL recently received a grant! Naturally, my boss wants to get some computer software for ESL adults, esp. Beginners. I must be honest -- I'm not very fond of computer-assisted learning for Beginners. I think Beginners need to communicate w/humans, not machines. However, I can see the benefits of a "back-up system" in our multi-level, open-entry classes. So............. What software do you suggest? Any particular one we should NOT get? Anything with dialogs? Pronunciation basics? Literacy basics? How do you use the materials? Also, do you know of any good videos that focus on basics, including the alphabet & numbers. Use my personal email unless you think others here are also interested. Thanks!
