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????
