Students with English as second language constitute a significant percentage of the population of our schools. This population continues to increase more rapidly than that of the native English-speaking students (Shore, 2001). The language minority population has a high drop out rate. These students are also among the lowest ranking in academic achievement and expectations. They represent an at-risk population faced with a wide range of challenges (Thompson, 2001).

Area: Focusing in preparing our bilingual/ ESL students for the 21st century education, our team agreed on researching on how to improve the visual learning of our students aiming at word recognition and comprehension using mainly computer programs as aid.

Research question:
How can the use of computer programs enhance the visual learning of ELL students?
