Well in terms of ESL and EQL I was able to find below information… I hope that may come handy for you…

ESL : –

ESL is an acronym that is used primarily in educational settings and stands for English as a Second Language. It refers to teaching English to a person whose native or primary language is one other than English. Education laws in the United States require schools to provide ESL instruction in the classroom to any and all enrolled students whose primary language is not English.

The need for ESL programs to help U.S. students achieve educational proficiency standards in school is evident from the 2000 census, which found that close to 1 in 5 United States citizens spoke a language other than English at home. While this does not imply that those people do not also speak English, the census also found that roughly 10% spoke English either less than fluently or not at all. The primary language of these individuals was Spanish.

ESL programs in elementary and secondary school are advancing to meet the needs of the young people in the U.S. who need to learn English for proficiency success in school. ESL programs for adults are also advancing, but at a different rate and for different purposes. In public schools, ESL programs must meet certain state and federal requirements.

Many ESL programs for early childhood and elementary education focus on the English alphabet and phonetics through a combination of visual and auditory presentation. Computers in the classrooms play a large role in implementing ESL programs for students of all ages. ESL curriculum may vary from state to state, but all states are required to provide ESL learning programs within the guidelines of federal mandates for education, including No Child Left Behind. The Internet also provides valuable resources for ESL reinforcement, especially to parents of young children, as numerous sites provide printable worksheets and games that help reinforce English basics. Further, numerous ESL programs for adults are becoming widely available at community colleges and through distance learning programs.

EQL :-

EQL computer based learning software, available for independent learning.

Sorry as I was able to find only that much information related to EQL.

Have a nice time…

Thanks

As an instructor for a few years now I have had a few. Two are at the top and run a close tie for first place. The first was when one of our students stopped a robbery in progress and the perpetrator tried to fight his way out of it and was put down and held for the police with minimal fuss. The other was one of the women who earned her black belt with us fought off a rapist in Philadelphia at night . She messed him up enough that the police were able to identify him. It felt great that what we teach does work if used right. I hope none of our students ever has an encounter like these. The other great feelings are similar to yours and if you become an instructor. remember the feeling you got by helping someone overcome something. It is what keeps me going. You can’t find a better addiction.
