[eal-bilingual] Online English language learning software and/orworkbooks

If anyone has suggestions, please respond to the whole group, as I'm
sure many people would find the information very useful.  In our school,
we provide in-class support and encourage teachers to differentiate, but
in the early stages they often cry out for help.

Many thanks.

Dear all,

I am hoping that some wise people here may be able to help me.  Our EAL
department lost its coordinator last year and her great expertise.  I
have been notified that we have some money left in our budget to be
spent.  I am looking at purchasing a computer English language package
aimed at EAL students and I wondered if anyone here could recommend any
from personal experience?

We are also looking to see if such a thing as a students' workbook which
has graded chapters in terms of difficulty (from beginners through to
intermediate levels) which can be photocopied and given to students
during their first few weeks here whilst our adminstration systems catch
up with providing them with support.

Many thanksToni Malone
