Subject: [NIFL-ESL:10835] online courses as a solution to the growing demand for ESL classes

I recently read an article about the crisis in
ESL programs for the growing number of Spanish
speakering High School students in the Southeast.
And I know that in Calilfornia funding for
community college programs is being cut back
drastically, and sooner or later will affect adult ESL
classes.
At the same time, the number of ESL classes
online is increasing. My own web-site now has about
10,000 hits per month.
In talking to several teachers, I get the
impression that there is a resistance to using online
courses. But - how else can the "crisis" be handled?
So, I would like to solicit some discussion with
people on this list concerning online courses and
their place in ESL programs.
Thank you,
Paul Rogers
