Our students take a yearly exam and one of the components is Speaking. This is the most responsive and accomplished my students have felt since they started using the headset you so kindly provided. \r\nWe have practice often and use our headsets to record speaking projects, reading responses, and reading fluency. Once the students listen to their 1st recording they want to record a second time and to improve their pronunciation. \r\n\r\nWe also use educational programs that rely on good listening skills, the headphones we have now are of great quality and my students enjoy using them because they are loud, and \"comfortable' on their ears. \r\nEach student has their own headphones so they are not worry about other students using their headphones. This is a welcoming consequence that has led them to be responsible and take care of their own headphones. \r\n\r\nAs a bilingual person I know how important it is to continue to develop listening and speaking skills in both native language and a new language. These headphones have delivered a positive impact to all my classes.
