Know Of Research Showing Technology’s Effect on English-Language Learning?

Posted at 5:15 pm under teacher resources, technology

I was recently asked about research on the effect of technology on the academic achievement of English Language Learners. I thought it was a good question — one that I didn’t have much of an answer to.

Here is what I shared — does anyone else have other suggestions?

Later this month, I’ll also be sharing the results of some research I’ve been doing at our school. I’ve been teaching two United States History classes composed of Intermediate English Language Learners. One class has been entirely in the computer lab, and the other primarily in the classroom. I’m compiling the results of assessments I gave each class in early September and in late December. It should be interesting to see how it shapes up.

Again, please leave any other recommendations for research in the comments section. Thanks!
