Computers are popular with pupils because they are associated with fun and games and because they are considered to be fashionable. Pupil motivation is therefore increased.

Pupils working individually at a computer can work at their own pace, which will depend on the level of English language competence they already have and their natural ability to learn. Shy or inhibited students can be greatly benefited by individualized, student-centered learning. High fliers can also realise their full potential without preventing their peers from working at their own pace.

Learners can control which activities to use, increasing motivation.

Computers can give immediate feedback, so that pupils learn from their mistakes and are encouraged by their own success.

Pupils working independantly allow the teacher to concentrate on other pupils.

As a whole-class or group activity, for example with an interactive whiteboard, pupils can learn new vocabulary together or play language games in teams.

Download an app and try it out for 15 days.   You can register it for permanent use for half of the price of a CD-ROM or USB drive, but it is licenced only on the one computer.

A single-user CD-ROM or USB drive can be used on any computer, but only on one at a time.

The site licence allows use on an unlimited number of machines.  It also allows teachers to install the software on home computers for use in connection with the licenced premises.   The price includes one CD-ROM or USB drive.

Schools may also request CD-ROMs and USB drives for a 15-day inspection period.
