Teaching English Language Learners through Technology [Pehme köide]

(University of Tampa, USA), (Barry University, USA), (Miami University, USA)

In Teaching English Language Learners through Technology, the authors explore the use of computers/technology as a pedagogical tool to aid in the appropriate instruction of ELLs across all content areas. The special focus of this book is on the informed use of various technologies and software programs that can specifically aid ELLs. Strategies are also provided for varying levels of access--whether teachers teach in a one computer classroom, have access to multiple computers, or have the ability to go into a computer lab at their school. A fully annotated list of web and print resources completes the volume, making this a valuable reference to help teachers harness the power of computer-assisted technologies in meeting the challenges of including all learners in effective instruction.

"Erben, Ban, and Castanda provide comprehensible, logical discussions in a three-part format for both pre- and in-service teachers who consider technology use in their teaching."--Hung-che Chen, Education Review (November 2009)
