Objective
The participants will be able to evaluate their means to support ENL/ESL students to have better support for those students.
Case Study
Mrs. Watts starts up the ESL software, shows Maria how to click on the first lesson, and returns to her place in front of the class. Maria, intent on pleasing the teacher, clicks as she has been shown. Pictures of animals appear on the screen. One by one, she clicks on the names she guesses go with each image. A little chime sounds after each correct selection. A buzz indicates she try again. After successfully choosing the word for three animals, she stealthily glances back at the rest of the class. They are engaged in lively talk with the teacher and each other while they work through the exercises on the board and in their books. Maria turns back to her animals, click on a few more words, then sneak another longing look at her peers (Meskill, 2009, p.114).
