Software, online tools, and other technologies help students refine basic language skills that they can later apply in authentic social settings. By students having the Google Chrome Educational License on their laptops, I as the teacher, will be able to monitor and control the websites they visit. I will also be able to control what they see on their screen, to make sure they are always on task and understanding the material presented to them. Thus, technology provides the means which captures students' attention, and engages them in a way traditional classroom instruction doesn't. Educators strongly recommend individual computer programs and other technologies, because they say they accelerate the acquisition of phonics, vocabulary, fluency, and reading-comprehension skills and other language building blocks in English Language Learners. The key is to use technologies that allow learners to focus in on text and to engage with real-life audiences and issues. The biggest problem related to English-language learning is not so much developing oral-conversation skills, but gaining academic written-language skills. One of the things that has been shown, is that when students talk about things in online discussions, they use more complicated vocabulary, because it is easier to see what's been written by othes and incorporate it into their own writing.
