Literacy...

Post by dunebob » Sun Feb 10, 2008 5:10 pm

I am a teacher in Saudi Arabia, in the military. We have soldier learners coming for ESP for Radar and Missiles. Unfortunately, some of our learners seem to be illiterate in Arabic and English - in spite of the fact that they should have studied English in secondary school. I am looking for a test and possible CALL lab support for Arab true beginners. Emphasis on phonics and reading skills. Can anyone offer advice?
Thanks,
Dunebob of Arabia
