The document discusses using a digital language laboratory (DLL) to improve English language learning in an elementary school. It proposes dividing students into mixed-ability groups to work on motivating activities using the DLL. Some suggested activities include using websites to practice descriptions, weather forecasts, learning about towns, and creating stories. The DLL allows students to work independently and receive automatic feedback and correction.
