ESL students enjoy hearing and reading literature, yet are unfamiliar with some traditional English stories. They also enjoy learning about other countries, especially if one of their classmates is from a particular country. Whatever topic is being studied, teachers need to place a strong emphasis on language development and interaction. In addition to addressing these needs, this track also addresses the learning gap in our ESL class of not using computers for information or communication. This unit incorporates the following standards:Technology Standard #6 The student will use technology as a tool to conduct and evaluate research and to communicate effectively information and ideas.
