After interviewing Mrs. Leah Muller, an ESL teacher in
Israel, I discovered a new set of challenges that didn’t occur to me before.
Mrs. Muller expressed the difficulties of incorporating technology into her
lessons since her students not only verbally speak a different language, but
technologically as well. For instance, Mrs. Muller’s students don’t have
televisions in their homes and some do not even have computers. This presents a
unique set of circumstances for this ESL teacher working with kids who have
less than the standard technological devices in their homes than in the United
States. Mrs. Muller has to really pull at her creative juices when forming her
lesson plans to incorporate technology. She ventures to use tape recorders and
digital cameras to enhance her lessons, quite different than the technology we
are discussing in this semester!
