Translation Device Needed for English Language Learners

Help me give my students the ability to communicate. I have multiple students who are new to the country and learning English. These translation devices would be so incredibly helpful in being able to communicate with them.

My Project

I am always so amazed with our students who are new to the country and have such a strong desire to learn and do well. The biggest challenge for them to access the information is the language barrier. While I translate as much as I can for them, they still are unable to understand when I'm giving instruction or explaining something. Our school has a no cell phone policy, which makes it really hard to use google translate because we don't always have access to a laptop. I really want to be able to provide my students an equitable opportunity to learn and also be able to build strong relationships with them.
