EDUCATIONAL SOFTWARE WITH EMBEDDED SHELTERED INSTRUCTION
First Claim
1. An internet-based virtual learning system comprising:
- an input device, which receives user input;
a datastore, which stores academic content, where at least a portion of the academic content is stored in native and non-native languages;
a processor, which obtains the academic content based on the user input, andan output device, which outputs the academic content provided by the processor to a user,wherein the academic content is obtained by the processor with sheltered instruction in the non-native language, andwherein upon a user request, the providing of the academic content is paused and at least one key term of the academic content is provided in the native language.

Abstract
A system, method and a computer readable medium for providing virtual learning of academic topic unrelated to languages in a non-native language of a student. The system includes an input device, which receives user input, a datastore, which stores the academic topic. At least a portion of the academic topic is stored in both native and non-native languages. The system further includes a processor, which obtains the academic topic based on the user input and an output device, which outputs the academic topic provided by the processor to a user. The academic topic is obtained by the processor with sheltered instruction in the non-native language. Upon a user request, the continuous providing of the academic topic is paused and at least one key term of the academic topic is provided in the native language.

22. A graphical user interface provided on a computer, comprising:
-
a first view, which provides at least one key concept of an academic content in a non-native language of a user, wherein terms displayed in the first view for which definitions in a native language are available are marked in the first view; a tool bar, which provides menu options comprising a first option including a video stream introduction of the at least one key concept in a non native language, a second option including an interactive game demonstrating the at least one key concept in the non native language, and a third option including a test of the at least one key concept in the non native language; and a second view, which replaces the first view and displays the definitions in the native language when a user selects a term marked in the first view, and returns to the first view upon further user input.
