Dear Maxine,
TESOL has an interest section on Computer Assisted Language Learning that
has developed both a Directory of ESL Software and a CD-Rom that provides
an opportunity to interact with numerous programs before purchase.
Please contact our Materials Center if you wish to order either publication:
Toll free # 1-888-891-0041
E-mail tesolpubs@tasco1.com
The chair of the interest section is Ron Corio at rcorio@vcu.edu.
Good luck!
Molly Kirby
