Artifact 7: Websites for
ESL Students
Context:
During my Block experience at Appalachian State
University, I did a search for websites that would help me meet the needs of
students whose primary language is something other than English. I
started my search by entering "sites for ESL students" on the page www.google.com. I explored several of the
sites and decided that two of the best are www.englishlearner.com
and www.spanishyahoo.com.
Impact:
After receiving my degree, I will enter a classroom
of my own. The odds are high that I will have students in my class
whose primary language is not English. These sites will help me
communicate with the students and their parents in their own language.
It will not only help me, but the child can do work in his or her own
language and I can transfer it to English. These sites will be very
handy for, not only myself, but also the other children in my class for communication.
Alignment:
By exploring these websites and finding resources
that will be helpful to me and the learners in my classroom, I have met
technology standard VIB.
Students in my classroom can use these sites to help them with their classwork
as well as use them in their free time.
