This course will look at a range of ICT that can be used to support bilingual learners and the teachers who work with them. There is not enough time to look at every app in detail so much of this session will be about sharing apps that can be used to support English language acquisition and learning across the curriculum. We will also demonstrate some of these apps and you will have the opportunity to try out many of these apps/devices.
