My Students
I love my student population of English Language Learners. I have been teaching students who are new to the U.S. and Hawaii for 16 years. Their perseverance and courage of learning a new language while also navigating a new culture and school is admirable.
Often, when students arrive in the United States, their role in their family may change; whereas their parents and guardians may have supported them in their home country, these students often become responsible for helping their parents navigate their new environment.
Thereby placing a huge responsibility on their children, my students. Time and time again though, my students embrace this responsibility. Although my priority is to teach students English, I also introduce them to resources and technical skills that help them negotiate the many new expectations placed upon them.
The English Language Learners in my classes have been identified at the "beginning" level of English language proficiency. Students at this level of English proficiency learn best from direct instruction. I will be teaching students parts of speech, grammar, and basic reading and writing skills.
My Project
My students will be seeing items projected from my computer and Elmo document camera onto a screen. A projector provides English Language Learners (ELLs) with the visuals they need to fully understand and follow lessons.
For some of my English Language Learners, it may be the first time they have ever used technology; a projector allows me to model effective and ethical use of technology.
It makes technology fun and exciting!
I will also be teaching students writing and reading skills as well as how to use Google Classroom and apps within Google. Students will be prepared for our hybrid bell schedule which is in person one day, and on-line the next.
This projector provides the support they need-visuals!
