In some societies, gender and poverty have a major effect on the availability and level of education provided.

You will also be evaluating published resources such as an ESL student workbook and a grammar reference book. These are common, commercially available resources in frequent use by ESL teachers.

In fact, the Adult Migrant English Program (AMEP) includes being able to use a computer as a literacy skill.
