Here Prof. Susan Braidi, an avid IT user, monitors students' progress in pronunciation class. "Big smile everyone -- now say E-E-E-E!"

Here a student poses for the camera while taking a break from an online course activity. Some courses which have online content are accessed by students in the LLRC. Instructors are encouraged to use IT with their ESL learners. The LLRC offers guidance for instructors who think IT is a good idea, but don't know were to start.

Technology integration is something the LLRC and the neighboring IEP support. Here an IEP instructor is teaching a content English language (ESL) course about Web sites using IT. Similar instruction strategies are available to faculty and staff. If you are interested in integrating technology into your courses, contact the LLRC.
