Technology-Assisted English Language Learning: The Wave of the Future!

My students need tablets to work independently in centers. With tablets, they can work on educational websites that our school subscribes to. They can also use dictionary and translation apps to access new content in class.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

My students are some of the most resilient people I know. They come from many different countries and speak over 40 different languages. They are just like other middle school students, except for the fact that they are getting used to living in the US, and they are learning English for the first time in a Newcomer School.

My students have low English proficiency and need assistance that technology can offer, such as English learning software and websites.

I have students arriving every week who are new to the country. I have three new students from Uganda, a student from Vietnam, and another students from Tanzania. They all have varying levels of English. And they all love to work on computers!

My Project

In my class, I use small group instruction to teach students to read. They rotate through stations, working on vocabulary and listening to news articles or stories in English. Computers assist the students as they work in small groups while I work with other students.

Imagine my surprise when I found out all of our computers in the school would be used exclusively for testing for the entire spring semester!

My students need tablets to work independently in centers. With tablets, they can work on educational websites that our school subscribes to. They can also use dictionary and translation apps to access new content in class. I am desperate for tablets so that my students can work independently. I teach the section of 7th and 8th graders with the lowest English proficiency. They have just arrived in the country, and computer technology allows them to work independently while I work with other students.
