My Project

I work in a diverse school with language learners. Covid impacted language learners because they were isolated at home and could not understand the complexity of assignments. They fell behind and/or dropped out of school. The handheld translators will help students communicate with their teachers in a more natural way. It will allow language learners to engage by asking and answering complex and detailed questions. It will allow the students to also clarify questions in learning. It will help students to build meaningful relationships which will increase performance and graduation rates.
