Help me give my students beanbags to add a soft and comfortable dimension to our speaking and listening area. As a language teacher I will like to create that space for all of my students.

My Project

As a language teacher, I wish to create a dedicated space for speaking and listening for all of my students in my classroom. I envision a warm cozy corner for them to enjoy small group activities and to explore the course content. The beanbags and headphones will help create a comfortable and relaxing space for them. They will be Assigned specific listening and speaking work to be completed in pairs and/or triads. This less formal setting will encourage creativity and deeper learning.

Secondly, the healthy snack will provide much needed energy boost for those midday classes.
