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.
