My Project

My ENL/Art is a unique initiative that blends English as a New Language (ENL) instruction with visual arts to foster language development, creative expression, and cross-cultural understanding. Our students, many of whom are newcomers with limited English proficiency, benefit from a multimodal approach to language learning that integrates art as a bridge for communication and self-expression.

Our diverse student population speaks a variety of home languages, and while visual art is a powerful universal language, the ability to provide clear, immediate translations during instruction and discussions is essential for deeper engagement.

A Pocketalk translation device would allow for real-time communication between teachers, students, and their families, reducing language barriers and increasing access to meaningful learning experiences.

This tool would enhance immediate comprehension of art instructions and safety guidelines. It would assist in family engagement by facilitating communication during parent-teacher meetings and art showcases. In addition, student confidence and participation, as they can better understand feedback and express their thoughts in their home language.

With the support of a Pocketalk device, the ENL/Art Integration Program aims to increase student engagement and participation by minimizing language barrier and Foster inclusivity and a sense of belonging for multilingual learners.

The Pocketalk translation device will be an invaluable addition to our ENL/Art program, ensuring that language is not a barrier to creativity, learning, or community building. By supporting this request, you will be empowering multilingual learners to express themselves, engage deeply in their education, and feel more connected to their school environment.

We appreciate your consideration and look forward to the opportunity to enhance our program with this essential tool.
