This research examined the use of interactive whiteboards (IWB) for English as a second language student vocabulary development. Assisting students with their vocabulary development was one of the goals of my district and the purpose of the study was to investigate how the use IWB materials can assist in this area.

The study examined the development and implementation of IWB-based lessons.
