while in my pre-service training at Appalachian State University.

This website can be used to translate letters
home for parents who do not speak English. It also can be used to help
teachers learn a few words in a child’s native language to show the student
you care and make him/her feel more at home.
Alignment
This website can be used to help students
whose second language is English in many ways. It can be used to communicate
with parents who do not speak English. It can also be used to learn and
help other students learn a few words in the ESL student’s native language.
