My Project

I have been given the opportunity to work with students that are English Language learners. My students are so excited to learn and love coming to my class where they can be with other students that are learning a new language too. One of the difficulties of learning a new language is finding the confidence to use your new found abilities to speak.

With new headsets, my students will have the opportunity to listen and practice their spoken language skills in a way that they feel comfortable to take a risk.

It is my hope that with these headsets, my students will feel comfortable enough to start speaking more in class and will help lay a foundation to prepare them for continued success in their education.
