These headsets are already making a significant difference in their learning, and I wanted to share some specific ways they are helping:\r\n\r\nImproved Speaking and Listening Skills: The headsets allow students to practice their pronunciation and speaking fluency in a private and focused environment. They can record themselves and listen back to identify areas for improvement. \r\n\r\n\r\nIncreased Engagement and Participation: The novelty of the technology itself has sparked excitement! Students are more eager to participate in speaking activities when they can use the headsets. They are more likely to participate in speaking activities if they do not have to do it right in front of their classmates and these headphones give them a feeling of privacy. \r\n\r\n\r\nPersonalized Learning: The headsets allow for differentiated instruction. Students can work at their own pace and focus on specific areas they need to improve. This is especially helpful for students who may be shy or hesitant to speak up in class. They give me more options for assignments for my students. \r\n\r\n\r\nI've seen some amazing progress with certain students:\r\n\r\nOne of my students was very self-conscious about his English pronunciation initially, in fact he swore to me that he did NOT want to learn how to speak better in English, but the headsets have allowed him to practice pronunciation privately and build confidence. He is now submitting Speaking assignments where he quite clearly is trying to show me what he has learned!\r\n\r\n\r\nAnother student was struggling with listening comprehension, but the headsets have helped her focus on spoken English and block out distractions. Her scores on listening quizzes have improved.\r\n\r\n\r\nThank you again for your incredible support. These headsets are invaluable tools that are helping my students develop the crucial English language skills they need to succeed in school and beyond.","fullyFundedDate":1728607253594,"projectUrl":"project/speaking-and-listening-in-english-for-ne/8869131/","projectTitle":"Speaking and Listening in English for Newcomer English Learners!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Delgado","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8436158_orig.jpg?crop=481,481,x0,y27&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1728494673385","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8436158"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_34871","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1585,"numTeachers":128,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":52,"percentWhite":19,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":16,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"12.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":48.1,"schoolId":34871,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Norview High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Norview High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/virginia/norfolk-public-schools/norview-high-school/34871"}
