My Students

Imagine being in a new country and not knowing the language. Now imagine that you need to learn about that country's history. This is the challenge my English language learners face when the step into my classroom.

My students speak many different languages - Korean, Mandarin, Spanish, and even Albanian.

These students are of various grade levels and are all in the same class while they learn English. They are also expected to learn the history of our country. It is my job to make sure that I can help them learn the content while also making sure they acquire language and vocabulary skills. This is not an easy task.

My Project

I would love to have non-fiction books about history on CD for my students to listen to in class. These CD's will help my class of English language learners understand different events that happened in our country's past. By listening to the stories on CD, it will help my students with fluency as well as give them knowledge for other readings.

These books on CD will make a great addition to these students.

Your donation will help these students who are new to America not only better understand our history but it will also help them to hone their language skills.
