Using Technology to Support Limited-English-Proficient (LEP) Students' Learning Experiences

Using Technology to Support Limited-English-Proficient (LEP) Students' Learning Experiences - US paper - "...this paper will focus on the critical issue of using technology as a tool to enrich classroom practices for LEP students. Educational technology as a learning tool can increase opportunities for students. Developing effective and adequate strategies is critical as educators and policymakers look at multiple ways to integrate technology in LEP students' learning. A thorough research-based understanding of technology integration to support and extend LEP students' learning experiences is a necessity. This Critical Issue supports the view that academic content understanding, linguistic knowledge, and technological literacy should, ideally, develop simultaneously in order to increase strategic use of technology, enhance LEP student orientation in content classrooms, redefine teacher roles, and increase access and equity for LEP students."
