familiar context. Learners can also ask simple questions using the appropriate intonation, even if the
structure is not accurate.
Learners can read and write familiar words as well as phonetically decode and encode some unfamiliar words.
learners can read and understand the purpose and general idea of a short set of instructions or sentences
containing not more than two or three content words. Learners can fill in the blanks of a guided text with

COMPUTER PARTS FOR CHEAP

Computers can be used as effective tools in any ESL classroom. Whether you teach a LINC One or a
LINC Five class, the use of computers can enhance learning and construction of knowledge. LINC
computer labs are equipped with specialized programs for teaching English, a program for learning
about Canada, and productivity software which enables users to do word processing, spreadsheets, and
prepare computer presentations. All of these programs can be used to aid in the teaching of English. This
guide focuses on using the LINC software and word processing as aids in ESL instruction. A summary of
language outcomes for LINC Two is included to help you integrate computer tasks and language functions.
In order for the learners to benefit from the LINC software, they must first feel comfortable sitting at a
computer, learn the basic start-up and shutdown procedures, and follow simple, routine instructions. It is
best not to make any assumptions about the learners’ computer skills. LINC learners are assessed according
to their language levels only. Therefore, it is not unusual to find a LINC One learner with advanced
computer skills and a LINC Five learner with none. Before exposing the learners to any software, we
recommend that you introduce basic computer concepts, terminology, and the hands-on skills necessary to
perform basic operations on a computer.
