For ESL we use the Ellis program and our students LOVE
it.  Ellis also has a great support system, it's well
worth its price. 

The beginning students really like the New Oxford
Picture Dictionary. 

We have Steck Vaughn's GED and Pre GED Program. They
will upgrade our GED Program this summer and the old
one was very good, but the Pre GED Program is a big
disappointment  (looks like an old DOS Format and is
really hard to read).

Our main problem with ordering software has been that
many catalogs offer software that they really haven't
yet produced (but they won't tell you that) and we are
still waiting for software that we ordered almost a
year ago. We have a NT network and many programs don't
yet have a network version.

Good luck!
