My Project

As an ESOL teacher, I am always trying my best to find ways to help them with their literacy skills. As I receive more students from Afghanistan, who speak Dari or Farsi, I want to be prepared.

I want my Afghanistan ESOL students to know that there is a dictionary available that they can see familiar words and the English translation.

These dictionaries can be used for classroom tests and assignments, as well as, projects. My students will be able to find just the right words to make an assignment as perfect as they want it to be.
