My Project

Many of our ESL (English as a Second Language) students face unique challenges when it comes to standardized testing, especially when it involves listening comprehension and oral assessments. Without proper headsets, the quality of audio can be compromised, making it difficult for students to focus on and understand the instructions or questions being asked. Clear, high-quality sound is essential for these students to perform their best during testing, as they often rely on auditory cues to demonstrate their language skills and comprehension.

Providing these headsets will ensure that every student has an equal opportunity to succeed during their assessments.

The headsets will reduce distractions, offer better sound clarity, and help students feel more confident during testing. Ultimately, these tools will create a more fair and supportive testing environment, which is critical for helping ESL students show their true potential and abilities.
