My 4th grade students come from low-income families, that are not able to afford computers. Most of my ESL students have been in the country for less than two years. Unfortunately, the school has a limited amount of laptops and computers available for classroom use. If we had four Chromebooks in our classroom, the Spanish and Korean speaking students would be able to listen to audiobooks in English. During writing time, the students would be able to use a Google Translator to write narrative, nonfiction, and opinion writing pieces. They would also be able to play interactive phonics & vocabulary games daily, which would help them grow as English language learners. Learning how to read, write, and speak in English would definitely prepare them for the ACESS for ELLs test, which is a yearly computer-based language proficiency test. The students would use the headphones to listen to the audiobook being read to them. It will also be helpful because having the students wear them won’t be a distraction for the remaining students in the class. Without the the proper technology and resources, I fear these students will fall behind, which is something no educator wants!
