1 How has your investment of the budget monies you did receive improved student learning?
When you requested the funding, you provided a rationale. In this section, assess if the anticipated positive impacts you projected have, in fact, been realized.
We received monies from the Trio grant (not listed above) to purchase instructional software and books for the use by both Excel and non-Excel program students: additional Cambridge English Readers, How to Read for Everyday
Living, Easy Writer Deluxe, Speak English like an American, and The Oxford Picture Dictionary Interactive CD-ROM.
Since we did not receive funding for any of the network licenses we requested above, these supplemental materials funded by the grant will be very useful for students working on reading, writing, vocabulary and listening/speaking skills in the Language Center. We have not yet received How to Read for Everyday Living or Easy Writer Deluxe, and we are currently still seeking support from IT to have The Oxford Picture Dictionary installed.
2 What has been the impact of not receiving some of your requested funding? How has student learning been impacted, or safety compromised, or enrollment or retention negatively impacted?
The entire budget request for supplies for 2012-2013 was for software for the existing Language Center space (Room 2351). The requests made (and our current requests) are for network licenses, so that should we renovate or rebuild Building 100, or receive funding for a fully-equipped ESL Language Lab elsewhere on campus, we will have available software to serve our students. In addition, network licenses would enable us to install and use the software on any computer on campus.
We currently serve over 75 students per semester in our ESL 127 and ESL 128 courses, and now an additional 50 per semester with our Writing Workshop course. Next semester, we’ll be serving 75 students (3 sections) in the
Writing Workshop course. These courses are designed to give support to students not onlyas they move through our program, but as they matriculate in their desired pathway. Currently, we have seven designated computers with

language learning software for ESL students in the Language Center. This is notnearly adequate to serve the population of ESL students on this campus. Please see our Proposal for New Initiatives and Appendix F8 for a more
complete vision of the type of ESL Language Lab we hope to implement.
In 2011, we received a two year license of Pronunciation, Writing and Vocabulary support software for ESL students that is set to expire in June 2013. Our students in ESL 127 and ESL 128 rely on this software to complete their work for these courses. If we do not receive funding to renew these licenses, retention and success rates for these courseswill be compromised.Please see Appendix F5 for a complete description of the software we are requesting.
