There are many technologies the English Language Learners, such as Closed Captioning and Computer Programs. Closed Captioning can help students with grammar and sentence structure. A technique that can be used with closed captioning is to slow down or take the video step by step for harder to understand concepts. Computer programs, such as Rosetta Stone, can be extremely invaluable because it keeps the student involved with engaging and varying activities. A technique used for this is called "scaffolds" or instructional conversations. Computer programs also offer a multimedia experience with audio and visuals whether in pictures, videos or audio clips.

The website you found has several technologies that seem extremely helpful when teaching and learning for English Language Learners. I really liked the closed captioning because I find it difficult for students in general to find key aspects because it goes to fast. Imagine if the language that the video was in was not your first language, with this program that issue can be solved.
