ESL Speaking Practice!

Help me give my students quality headphones to practice speaking English. I teach ESL in middle school. I like them to feel comfortable in my room as they learn a new language. Thank you for your support!

My Project

These new headphones will allow my ESL students to work on speaking English independently. All middle schoolers are notoriously worried about what their peers think of them but especially those who don't speak the dominant language!

The faster they acquire academic & social English - the quicker they can succeed in their other classes!

Students can be a bit unorganized - extra Chromebook chargers allow everyone to power up in class.

Basics like tissues & lollipops are excellent for overall morale!!

My goal is to have my students well-prepared to do well in high school by minimizing their language barrier.
