Technology-Based Literacy Instruction For English Language Learners

Abstract

There is a growing need to implement an alternative and viable solution in U.S. K-12 schools that will address the ever-growing gap that the rapidly growing English language learner (ELL) population presents.  This article examines various technology-based solutions, and their potential impact.  The systematic implementation of these technology-based solutions could aid in alleviating an already taxed educational workforce, as well as significantly aid in promoting English language acquisition among the nation’s K-12 ELL population.
