Software Review

This week, I started to review software for the lab classes. Even though I constantly review software in the computer lab for our students, I really haven’t had the chance to practice with new software --as a student-- since I took classes in Costa Mesa in 2001 when I was an ESL student. Back in 2001, I learned English with Rosetta Stone and my first grammar book was Fundamentals of English by Betty Azar.

During my sabbatical, I plan to review the following software and book materials for the lab:

• Betty Azar
• Project Success
• Rosetta Stone
• Side by Side
• Top Notch

I also plan to adapt one of these books for my hybrid Level 5 class.
