Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My students are avid learners from all over the world, whose first language is different than English. They are high school students who are expected to perform as well as their native English speakers peers.
Even though my students are eager learners, the language barrier is preventing them from showing all their potential; therefore, they need bilingual dictionaries to help them ease their way to learn English and be able to communicate all their knowledge.
My students value the opportunity of studying in the US, and make every effort possible to succeed in a language that is very foreign to them.
I am proud of them for their courage, perseverance and enthusiasm to thrive!
My Project
The use of bilingual dictionaries is a must for English learners, who have come from abroad to study in US schools; they are specially useful in social studies, science, and language arts classes. Students use bilingual dictionaries everyday at home, in class during lessons and in standardized tests.
The bilingual dictionaries allow English Learners to perform at their highest level without worrying about the meaning of a word getting in their way.
Even though students study their vocabulary words, nervous get in the way when they need to perform in a language that they are still learning. It is then when students use their bilingual dictionary to match the word in their own language with the concept they know. By having bilingual dictionaries English learners will be able to focus on improving their learning and performance.
By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus on learning, you will ultimately help them to increase their academic achievement.
Students will be able to simply focus on the academic material at hand, and they will improve their English literacy as well as their desire to learn!
