My students struggle with learning English with the current curriculum. They love when I am able to do small group work and we can read books that are easy to understand. They are able to pick up words easier and truly learn so that one day they will become able to understand the curriculum materials. Unfortunately they go home and do not hear or practice English.
Becoming bilingual readers means they will always love Spanish and speak it but also do the same with English! They are so passionate about being bilingual-it has motivated me to seek funding for the project. I would do different things with the voice recorders. One thing is allow they to record the class discussion (especially when I am not present) so we can review it. Another thing is record guided reading books so they can go home and listen to the books. This will take away the guessing of how we pronounced the word in class.
