Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

Spanish, Afrikaans, Arabic, Fulani, Swahili, Chinese, English, Creole, and American Sign Language are just a few of the languages our students exposed to on a daily basis--both in the home and at school. My students, who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing, are in a self-contained total communication program located in the Bronx, NY. We simultaneously use various forms of communication in our room to fit the needs of each learner. My students are very hard working, compassionate kids with a love of learning and experiencing new things first hand. They are all incredibly intelligent and intuitive, but lack of language exposure, and oftentimes lack of resources contribute to their lack of understanding and access to grade-appropriate instruction. For this very reason, literacy instruction is key to their success and eventual language acquisition.

In our school we have 130 English as a New Language Learners, which equates to roughly 30% of the school's population.

This presents a unique challenge as my students are also Deaf and Hard of Hearing, making them multilingual. My goal as an ENL provider is to help them assimilate to English culture and language so that they can be productive, compassionate and successful citizens.

My Project

English Language Learners who are also Deaf and Hard of Hearing learn through visual models like videos, pictures, and animation. Often, our students struggle with comprehension because they don't have the experience or a mental representation of a word or a concept. When this happens we might use a computer to look up picture representations, but this process is usually not individualized, due to lack of equipment. We hope that the addition of iPads will allow us to expose our students to more vocabulary and more concepts, which will help to assist their overall learning.

iPads will afford us the opportunity for individualized learning in grades k-5.

Students can work independently on IEP goals related to literacy, math, grammar, or speech and language. iPad apps are generally fun and vivid, which our students require for motivation and unique learning styles. Students able to work independently will also allow us to make smaller groups to target areas of need for more effective instruction.
