Hello Gail,

You could try WordAloud - download it from the web onto a CD - 
from http://www.cloudworld.co.uk.
WordAloud can be used for 30 minutes before it times out.
It includes phonics material which could help in
adult education/literacy classes, including ESL.
WordAloud displays a word at a time across the screen, 
so, with a large monitor, can be used to teach a number of
adults in a classroom setting.

BTW, WordAloud has recently been used for TEFL with great success
in Sri Lanka.

Regards,

John
