Maxine,
In a message dated 98-12-24 11:24:36 EST, you write:

<< Can any one offer some suggestions for really good computer software for
 ESL learners.  I received some money to buy software and don't know what
 would be useful. >>
For your info, the non-profit ALC is offering inexpensive ESL/remedial writing
software with instant audiovisual feedback and a 25,000 word vocabulary, even
on old PC’s (286+) and even if they don’t have an internal sound card.  $79
for one work station -- or $70 for each work station if more than one copy is
ordered.  The program, which was field tested at Columbia University Teachers
College, is termed “excellent” by Literacy Volunteers of New York State. 
While the demo we send out assumes a Win 95+ environment, we do offer a DOS
version as well.  
Let us know and we’ll be glad to send you a demo thru the mail. Or, if you
like the sound of the software (so to speak) and want the real thing right
now,  you can make your check payable to American Literacy Council.

Good luck.
