Authentic Listening and Speaking Activities for the World Language Classroom

My students need a class set of headphones for their Chromebooks to use for our listening comprehension and speaking lessons and activities.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Fantauzzi's classroom raised $542

My Students

Our school district is located in Northern Dutchess County, approximately 90 miles north of New York City, in the Hudson Valley region. The district consists of seven school buildings, three of which were built with a grant from the Public Works Administration (PWA) of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's administration. The district is a suburban community with few business and industrial properties in the tax base. Hyde Park was the home of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and is a major New York State tourist destination. The student population is approximately 4,300 (K-12). Three of our elementary schools receive Title I funding and approximately 15% of our students receive special education services.

My Project

One area my students struggle the most with is listening comprehension and speaking skills. As a second language learner myself, I know first-hand how nerve wracking it is to try to overcome learning a new language and having the confidence to speak to native peers. I'm requesting a class set of headphones, splitters and a class speaker so that I can set up a listening station. At this station, students will be able to listen to stories or practice listening to audio conversations to boost their listening and speaking confidence.

In my classroom, we practice listening comprehension and speaking tasks daily.

Although all students have Chromebooks, we do not have headphones. The addition of this technology would give my students a much-needed boost of practice in the areas of listening and speaking.
