How Technology Supports ELLs
Learning in the Digital Age: Why Technology Works
English is a great language to learn with technology; it is the most popular language spoken on the Web and is a wealth of information for English Language Learners. Technology creates authentic language learning environments because students can hear, see, get feedback, and read. Technology offers the opportunity to learn a new language quickly and enhances motivation by bringing excitement to the learner. Technology allows for differentiated instruction in the classroom and prompts students to be in control of their own learning and progress. iPads, apps, and computer software provide rich oral, visual, and written input thus increasing language acquisition and literacy development.
