Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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 Project

I teach in a school where the majority of my students are English Language Learners. Because of this, many times they are reluctant to share, comment, discuss, or answer questions because they may not be as proficient English speakers as others in the class. I wanted to bring in a fun and engaging way to encourage everyone to participate in classroom discussions!

Students will be able to enhance students literacy learning when reading out loud, recall terms and ideas, provide critical thinking concepts when prompted questions to answer, identify/ recall vocabulary words with repetition from other students, use knowledge of language and its conventions when speaking, reading and listening, grasp appropriate articulation with the device’s audio enhancement in Spanish or other language classes and amplify their voices during required presentations.

Results from other schools:

--Increased test scores were shown to improve using sound enhancement in listening and language skills for Kindergarten students. For grade 2 and 3 scores in the area of math concepts, math computation and reading improved (MARRS)&(Ray, 1992)

--74% of children showed increased standardized test scores in phonological processing with sound enhancement versus 46% in unamplified classrooms (Allcock, 1999).
