Hi Toni
re your posting to EAL bilingual
I don't know anything about computer packages but my CD ROM 'Racing to 
English' has over 150 activitiesfor staff to print out and use with beginner 
and intermediate learners.  Most of the activities have at least one 
associated worksheet - I haven't counted the worksheets recently but ther 
are about 150 of them too.
The activities are organised in 14 levels so are progressive - however, I 
don't think the students could just work through the worksheets - they would 
need some input on the activies first.
------------------
I also sent Toni a flier, but I can't attach one to EAL Bilingual emails - 
if you want the flier email me directly gordon.ward2000 at ntlworld.com

cheers
Gordon

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
