My students are truly incredible, passionate and curious middle schoolers. Since we are in Texas, many are exposed to Spanish, but few have studied it in an academic setting. Our school has an at-risk, diverse population with approximately 65% on free or reduced lunch. Many of my students have not had many opportunities to expand their world-view and Spanish class is their first chance to do so. One of the goals of Spanish is to help students to improve in their speaking and listening abilities. This can be difficult to do with classes of 30+ students without a way to record responses or allow them individual listening sessions. Having headsets with microphones would allow me to give my students listening activities they can complete on their own. They would also be able to record their responses for me to review later and give meaningful feedback on their speaking, which would greatly improve their abilities.
