Context:  At Portland Adult Education (Portland Maine Population 60,000), we
have 7 different levels of ESL and have approximately 230 ESL students a
semester.  Many of these students are refugees but we do have representation
from50+ countries.

The other day I received a phone call from the manager of a 75 person elderly
and handicapped housing program.  He says that he could get spme HUD money
for equipment if there was some ESL software out there.  In his project he
has 15 elderly Russians and some other cultures.  These prospective students
are highly literate in their own language, level 1-3 in English , and have
plenty of time on their hands.

Any software suggestions????
