Technology has been a useful tool in bilingual education. Many sources of technologies such as psychology, acoustic linguistics, and psycholinguistics are used in second-language acquisition research. These sources have been used for collecting date on the ability for bilingual students to judge grammatical errors and also be able to recognize similarities between sentence and finally be able to respond orally to various language prompts. Technology in school today has been able to manage and analyze student’s performance level with different computer-based software. Technology is taking over the world at a very fast pace and everyday better technology is coming out. These technologies will provide support to ESL teachers to help their bilingual students understand English easier.
This text is useful to my research topic because Elsie Szecsy talks about how technology is rapidly taking over the world and is being shown into schools, which is benefiting many ESL students. I plan on using Szecsy writing as a main focal point in my writing because Szecsy address many focal points that I wanted to write about.
“Though technology is a useful tool in bilingual education, these examples show the importance of acknowledging local cultural norms in decision making for integrating technology into bilingual education, so that the intended outcomes are consistent with the desired outcomes for the community. (Szecsy 822)

The role of many teachers in supporting learning in a world full technology is help those students who use technology a way to help them with their work. There are many Web-based resources that are useful in the K-12 classroom for promoting constructivist learning and technology literacy. Students and teachers have to be informed on how to use certain technology because it takes some skill in downloading certain programs and interesting them into computers. Students have to learn basic technical skills in order to operate the computer and use the software programs appropriately. Computer-based technology has an enormous potential to bring about new ways of learning in K-12 classrooms.
I intend to use this article because it discusses the use of technology throughout different grade levels. In my article one of my discussion questions was how was technology imported into school lessons. This article will provide support on the back around of technology and how it is used through different grade levels.
“The shaping of today’s contemporary society can be recognized in the quick pace of the integration of technological development in all sectors of life. In the business world, the impact of technology has seen many routine tasks, both in administration and production, streamlined and reduced in the amount of time required” (Ng 94).
