In response to your question and comments. You're right not many ESL
people, maybe Seattle was too much for them. I have run into some in the
MOO.
Anyway to your questions. I teach at Delta College in Michigan and we
aren't running any on-line courses in ESL (lots of other stuff though). I
find myself in an odd situation, our enrollment is so low that we offered
a course last fall and will have another this fall, thus I teach freshman
comp when no ESL courses are offered.
In terms of technology I use the www as a resource (use of search
engines, limited research, and self-study for upper-intermediate students)
and this fall I plan to also use
e-mail and listserv and perhaps a MOO (I'm undecided about this). All of
this will be in integrated with my f2f course. I've got web pages up for
the class, but they need a lot of work. I've got a couple of comp classes
this summer with unlimited lab access and that will allow me to work
toward integration. I'm not totaly sold on the idea of completely
on-line ESL (yet?).
